Piping plovers demonstrate regional differences in nesting habitat selection patterns along the U.S. Atlantic coast

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Habitat studies that encompass a large portion of a species’ geographic distribution can explain characteristics that are either consistent or variable, further informing inference from more localized studies and improving management successes throughout

Piping Plover, Charadrius melodus, egg viability after seawater immersion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Four observed nest histories indicate Piping Plover eggs are able to survive immersion in seawater, but little is known regarding their hardiness. As Piping Plover nests are often exposed to tidal flooding, their eggs may be relatively resistant to ...

Cathemeral Behavior of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) Breeding along Michigan’s Lake Superior Shoreline

open access: yesBirds, 2022
Shorebirds commonly exhibit cathemeral activity and commonly forage throughout a 24 h period. Conservation of endangered shorebirds should then extend to protection at night, yet little data exists on overall time budgets of such species at night.

The effect of top predator removal on the distribution of a mesocarnivore and nest survival of an endangered shorebird

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2021
For trophic systems regulated by top-down processes, top carnivores may determine species composition of lower trophic levels. Removal of top predators could therefore cause a shift in community composition.

Habitat‐specific behavior, growth rate, and survival of piping plover chicks in New Jersey, USA

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Anthropogenic disturbance has been demonstrated to affect the behavior of beach‐nesting birds, yet the energetic consequences of recreational activities have received less attention. Because precocial chicks are often displaced as a result of disturbance
