Threat-sensitive anti-predator defence in precocial wader, the northern lapwing Vanellus vanellus [PDF]

, 2016
Birds exhibit various forms of anti-predator behaviours to avoid reproductive failure, with mobbing—observation, approach and usually harassment of a predator—being one of the most commonly observed. Here, we investigate patterns of temporal variation in

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Observing the effectiveness of stewards and cameras in promoting behavior for beach‐nesting bird conservation: A mixed‐methods approach

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding the factors that influence human behavior is crucial for effective wildlife conservation strategies. This study examines the impact of conservation stewards and cameras on beachgoers' adherence to conservation guidelines designed to protect beach‐nesting birds.

Patterns and processes in shorebird survival rates: a global review [PDF]

, 2018
Changes in demographic rates underpin changes in population size, and understanding demographic rates can greatly aid the design and development of strategies to maintain populations in the face of environmental changes.

A national assessment of waterbird hunting in coastal wetlands of Suriname, South America

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We examined waterbird harvest levels in Suriname using hunter survey data from 2006 and 2016. The analysis showed a significant decline in the average harvest per hunter over the decade, except for blue‐winged teal and migratory shorebirds. However, the sustainability of current harvest levels remains uncertain, underscoring the need for a national ...

Metabolic consequences of overlapping food restriction and cell‐mediated immune response in a long‐distance migratory shorebird, the little ringed plover Charadrius dubius

Journal of Avian Biology, 2011
Investment in immunity is commonly viewed as an energetically costly activity in birds. Although several studies have focused on the energy cost of mounting an immune response and its concomitant physiological trade‐offs, nothing is known about the metabolic adjustments experienced by immunochallenged birds under resource ...

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Structure of the Wetland‐Dependent Bird Assemblages in the Pequenos Lençóis Maranhenses, in Maranhão, Brazil

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wetland‐dependent birds play crucial ecological roles and are highly influenced by local environmental factors such as depth, salinity and microhabitat availability. Although the importance of these environments for biodiversity is already recognized, studies on the spatiotemporal dynamics of these assemblages in Maranhão remain scarce.
