The Effect of Proximity to Urbanization on Piping Plover Nest Productivity
, 2021 Though significant efforts have been made in Massachusetts to help the piping plover population recover from near-extinction, piping plover productivity is still far lower than desired for continued conservation of the species.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short-term tactics and long-term impacts. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Adult piping plover habitat selection varies by behavior
Ecosphere, 2021 Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus, “plover”) are beach‐nesting shorebirds that occupy their breeding range from about April to August. When plovers arrive on the breeding grounds, they select and defend territories, lay and incubate eggs, and tend to ...

Natal Versus Breeding Dispersal in Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea): A Banding Study From Denmark (1931–2005) [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe summarise Denmark's long historical dispersal events, understanding their directional, distance and regional flow characteristics. Comparing natal dispersals and breeding dispersals, provides insights for further research. ABSTRACT The dispersal of migratory birds is a crucial process that directly influences population viability, genetic ...

Conservation Science and Practice, 2020 Conservation management often requires decision‐making without perfect knowledge of the at‐risk species or ecosystem. Species distribution models (SDMs) are useful but largely under‐utilized due to model uncertainty. We used an ensemble modeling approach

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023 Wire cages (i.e., predator exclosures) are frequently used to protect shorebird nests from predation. While exclosed nests often have higher survival than unexclosed nests, concerns exist over whether the conspicuous structures might draw attention of ...
