Anthropogenic Renourishment Feedback on Shorebirds: a Multispecies Bayesian Perspective [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper the realized niche of the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), a primarily resident Florida shorebird, is described as a function of the scenopoetic and bionomic variables at the nest-, landscape-, and regional-scale.

Predicing Ecological Effects of Watershed-Wide Rain Garden Implementation Using a Low-Cost Methodology [PDF]
, 2015 Stormwater control measures (SCMs) have been employed to mitigate peak flows and pollutants ssociated with watershed urbanization. Downstream ecological effects caused by the implementation of SCMs are largely unknown, especially at the watershed scale ...

Breeding success of Black-tailed Godwits Limosa limosa under 'mosaic management' : an experimental agrienvironment scheme in The Netherlands [PDF]
, 2012 Black-tailed Godwits (Limosa limosa) have been declining for decades in The Netherlands and so far this has not been slowed by conservation measures. A new form of agri-environment scheme was tried out in 2003-2005 at 6 sites where a ‘grassland mosaic ...

Vegetation structure linked to nest site selection and nest survival of northern bobwhite
Wildlife Society BulletinAbstract Nesting success of northern bobwhites ( Colinus virginianus ) is related to the interaction of habitat and predators because vegetation can act as a buffer to obscure visual and olfactory nest cues. While vegetation characteristics increasing nest site selection are
