Effects of Research Activity on Piping Plover Nest Predation

open access: yes, 1990
We examined whether nest monitoring and other research activities influenced rates of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) predation on both natural and artificial piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nests in Massachusetts.

Long-distance dispersal in a recovering endangered shorebird population facilitates recolonization of historical nesting sites following decades of extirpation

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology, 2022
After extirpation from most of the Great Lakes by the 1980s, the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus circumcinctus) did not nest again outside Michigan until 1998. The number of Plovers breeding in the region has gradually increased, with nesting locations

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Piping plover chick ecology following landscape‐level disturbance

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, 2022
AbstractPopulation declines of disturbance‐dependent species due to suppression of natural disturbances are realized across ecosystems. The piping plover (Charadrius melodus; plover), a disturbance‐dependent and conservation‐reliant shorebird that nests on sandy beaches and barrier islands on the Atlantic Coast, was listed under the United States ...

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 443-454, August 2026.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Observing the effectiveness of stewards and cameras in promoting behavior for beach‐nesting bird conservation: A mixed‐methods approach

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding the factors that influence human behavior is crucial for effective wildlife conservation strategies. This study examines the impact of conservation stewards and cameras on beachgoers' adherence to conservation guidelines designed to protect beach‐nesting birds.
