Piping Plover response to coastal storms occurring during the nonbreeding season

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2015
The increase in coastal storm frequency and intensity expected under most climate change scenarios is likely to substantially modify beach configuration and associated habitats.

Spatiotemporal and weather effects on the reproductive success of piping plovers on Prince Edward Island, Canada [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus sp.) rank among North America's most endangered shorebird species, facing compounding environmental challenges that reduce habitat availability and suppress recruitment and survival rates.

Smartphone-Based Distributed Data Collection Enables Rapid Assessment of Shorebird Habitat Suitability. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Understanding and managing dynamic coastal landscapes for beach-dependent species requires biological and geological data across the range of relevant environments and habitats.

Community‐based social marketing is associated with shorebird responses along the U.S. Atlantic coast

Conservation Science and Practice
Community‐based social marketing (CBSM) is increasingly used in conservation to influence human behavior, yet its biological effectiveness is rarely evaluated. We assessed relationships between CBSM campaigns and both behavioral and demographic responses

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Shorebird Monitoring Using Spatially Explicit Occupancy and Abundance

Land, 2023
Loss of habitat and human disturbance are major factors in the worldwide decline of shorebird populations, including that of the threatened migratory piping plover (Charadrius melodus).

Integrating Bayesian Networks to Forecast Sea‐Level Rise Impacts on Barrier Island Characteristics and Habitat Availability

Earth and Space Science, 2022
Evaluation of sea‐level rise (SLR) impacts on coastal landforms and habitats is a persistent need for informing coastal planning and management, including policy decisions, particularly those that balance human interests and habitat protection throughout

Long-distance dispersal is asymmetrical with respect to age, sex and breeding latitude in a long-lived monogamous bird. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
In this study, we constructed joint live encounter–dead recovery models under a Bayesian multistate framework to quantify long‐distance dispersal between barnacle goose subpopulations, using long‐term mark–recapture data. We demonstrate the existence of strong male‐biased unidirectional natal dispersal, resulting from low migratory connectivity and ...
