Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.Our findings demonstrate that ARUs can effectively monitor shorebird species presence, offering advantages in temporal coverage and synchronous data collection across large spatial extents. This may be particularly important in remote regions where traditional monitoring approaches are challenging to implement and sustain. Abstract The rapid decline of

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 531-553, February 2026.Abstract Bird seasonal migration is a remarkable biogeographic phenomenon, yet its deep‐time origin(s) and evolutionary history remain poorly understood, with the bird fossil record largely overlooked. This study explores the predictability of bird migratory behaviour from the oxygen isotope composition of their bone apatite phosphate (δ18Op), a ...

Global review of shorebird tracking data to identify research gaps and conservation priorities
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Tracking has enabled rapid advances in knowledge of the movement behavior and habitat use of shorebirds and is thus making a growing contribution to their conservation. However, realizing the full potential that tracking holds for conservation involves understanding what has been performed on shorebirds to date and identifying regional and ...

Cliff top habitats provide important alternative feeding resources for wading birds of conservation importance wintering on non-estuarine coasts [PDF]
, 2014 Rocky shores and beaches are important over-wintering areas for non-estuarine waders but have rarely been studied. We examined cliff top habitat use by 6 species of wader over 75 km of coast to assess their potential value as alternative feeding sites to
