No Evidence That Nest Cover Shapes Incubation Schedules in a Mediterranean Shorebird Population. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how nest cover is associated to incubation behaviour in a Mediterranean biparental population of Kentish Plovers using 24‐h video recordings from 24 nests with variable nest cover that ranged from fully open (0% coverage) to complete coverage (100%).

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on <i>Myricaria germanica</i> in northern Italy. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Brood parasitism: the first nest of the Eurasian Oystercatcher in Lazio (Italy) could be an example

Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology
During the 2025 monitoring of the Kentish Plover, Anarhynchus alexandrinus, population nesting along the Lazio coast, a nest of a Eurasian Oystercatcher, Haematopus ostralegus, was found.

Breeding populations of Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius and Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula in the United Kingdom in 2007

Bird Study, 2019
Capsule: The 2007 national survey of the UK breeding population of Little Ringed Plovers shows a further spread into Scotland and Wales since the previous survey in 1984. In contrast, there has been a significant decrease in the Ringed Plover breeding population.

Estimating sex specific apparent survival and dispersal of Little Ringed Plovers (Charadrius dubius)

Ornis Fennica, 2015
Sex differences in survival have consequences to population dynamics making information on sex specific survival important. In birds, females often have lower survival than males, and one of the main mechanisms is considered to be differential reproductive investment.

Influence of researcher presence towards nest attendance and breeding of barn owls Tyto javanica javanica

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human disturbance to nesting raptors can influence breeding success, especially during early breeding. This study examined the impact of researcher presence, a relatively low impact human disturbance, on eastern barn owls Tyto javanica javanica during monitoring of 57 nest‐boxes in oil palm plantations in Malaysia over a period of 30 months.

Breeding Dispersal of Baltic Dunlins Is Not an Adaptive Response to Unpredictable Nest Flooding

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Flood‐related nest losses of the Baltic dunlin (Calidris alpina schinzii) have drastically increased over the past two decades. Using 20 years of reproductive data from 184 individuals, we found that between‐year and within‐site dispersal tended to increase following nest failure in males.
