Effects of Migration Distance on Shifting Migratory and Breeding Phenology in Waders. [PDF]
Ecol EvolShort‐distance migrants arrive earlier and are advancing laying at a faster rate than long‐distance species, particularly in warmer springs. Early arrival does not always result in earlier laying, but short‐distance migrants can exploit favourable conditions and lay before many long‐distance migrants arrive.

Inter-specific nest scrape reuse in waders: Little Ringed Plovers taking over the nest scrapes of Northern Lapwings [PDF]
Bird Study, 2014 Capsule Inter-specific nest scrape reuse is rare in waders. We review this phenomenon and document it for the first time in the Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius breeding in vacant nest scrapes excavated by Northern Lapwings Vanellus vanellus.
