The importance of nonnative Pacific oyster reefs as supplementary feeding areas for coastal birds on estuary mudflats [PDF]

, 2018
1. A combined empirical and modelling approach was used to investigate the value of a Pacific oyster reef to feeding shorebirds and to observe and predict the impact of reef clearance on bird populations in the Colne Estuary, a protected area in south ...

Consequences of population change for local abundance and site occupancy of wintering waterbirds [PDF]

, 2017
Aim: Population size changes can lead to changes in local abundance and/or site occupancy, depending on the processes influencing site use by individuals.

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.

Breeding Under Pressure: Shorebird Reproductive Success Amid Urban Disturbance Along a Mediterranean Urban Waterfront

Birds
Ground-nesting shorebirds face growing pressure from recreational activities in coastal urban areas. We monitored the breeding success of Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) and Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) over six consecutive years ...

Global analysis of annual survival among shorebirds reveals a negative effect of migration distance and a decline in recent decades

Oikos, EarlyView.
Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

A process‐based social‐ecological systems framework for studying the effects of human recreation on wildlife

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the effects of human recreation on wildlife is fundamental for effective management and coexistence, where natural landscapes increasingly serve a dual purpose: protecting biodiversity while providing recreational opportunities. Social‐ecological systems frameworks, which acknowledge the reciprocal links between people and nature,

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.

Mechanisms promoting higher growth rate in arctic than in temperate shorebirds [PDF]

, 2002
We compared prefledging growth, energy expenditure, and time budgets in the arctic-breeding red knot (Calidris canutus) to those in temperate shorebirds, to investigate how arctic chicks achieve a high growth rate despite energetic difficulties ...
