Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1437-1447, October 2026.Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...

Effects of Research Activity on Piping Plover Nest Predation
, 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.

The 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.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird
Animal 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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Waterbirds play vital ecological roles in wetland ecosystems. This study reports variations for 34 species of waterbirds across study sites of Usangu Wetland abundance with distribution bias in rice farms. The waterbird population trend is declining because of habitat alteration and hunting hence conservation measures should be taken to enhance ...
