Abundance, Distribution and Population Trends of Waterbirds in the Usangu Wetland: A Biodiversity Hotspot Threatened by Human Activities

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Performance Report: 2-B Piping Plover Population Survey

open access: yes, 2000
This performance report was created to determine statewide and site specific piping plover populations, nesting success, and productivity. While the record productivity of the 1999 nesting season was encouraging, over the past decade average ...

Toward a more inclusive conservation actions classification: Lessons from restoration practice and conservation social science

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation and the associated Conservation Actions Classification 2.0 serve as important and widely used tools to plan, implement, and monitor projects. Drawing a research effort that used the CAC 2.0 as a classification tool to synthesize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's thousands of projects, this ...

Flooding and a complex predator community drive American oystercatcher nest and chick survival in Virginia

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Reducing bias in shorebird nest survival rates across a large Arctic landscape

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 25-41, January 2026.
Reproductive success is a key demographic parameter that can have profound impacts on a species' population trend. Indeed, poor reproductive success has been suggested as a contributing factor to the declines observed in many species of birds, including Arctic‐breeding shorebirds.

Assessing Error in Locations of Conspicuous Wildlife Using Handheld GPS Units and Location Offset Methods

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2020
Collecting spatially explicit locations of individual animals often is an important part of the study of habitat use. Obtaining accurate locations without disturbing an individual can be difficult for small species and may be limited for species of ...

Power source, data retrieval method, and attachment type affect success of dorsally mounted tracking tag deployments in 37 species of shorebirds

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Animal‐borne trackers are commonly used to study bird movements, including in long‐distance migrants such as shorebirds. Selecting a tracker and attachment method can be daunting, and methodological advancements often have been made by trial and error and conveyed by word of mouth.
