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
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 ...

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
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.

Developing genetic sequences for benthic prey resources of migratory Piping Plover and Red Knot [PDF]
The goal was to support the sustainable management of Piping Plover and Red Knot by increasing the genetic library of their benthic prey species. The specific objectives were to: (1) Create a list of target Piping Plover and Red Knot prey species that ...
