Studies on bird behavior have benefited from the miniaturization of tracking devices and the opportunities for massive data collection facilitated by extensive satellite and cellular infrastructures. However, assessments of the effects of tracking devices on the behavior and survival of birds are rarely conducted and disseminated – raising animal ...

Growth of two Atlantic Coast Piping Plover populations [PDF]
AbstractSpecies listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act are required to meet stated recovery goals for delisting. These goals often are developed early in the species’ conservation history and may need to be updated or refined as new information becomes available. The Atlantic Coast Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), which was listed more than 30

Outwash Events Inhibit Vegetation Recovery and Prolong Coastal Vulnerability
Abstract Overwash, when high ocean water levels and waves flood a coastline, is a common phenomenon that can lead to washover deposits and barrier rollover. Outwash, by contrast, involves seaward flow, often driven by high back‐barrier water levels, and can produce washout channels and nearshore deposition.

Groundwater Flooding of Superficial Gravels in an Urbanized Catchment
ABSTRACT Groundwater behavior in superficial gravel aquifers is globally poorly understood, especially across urban regions where drinking water is sourced from elsewhere. This study focuses on one such region around Staines, SE UK, where local River Terrace Gravels form a thin (< 10 m) superficial aquifer.

Key ecological factors influencing the selection of foraging sites by the Scaly‐Sided Merganser across different breeding stages. ABSTRACT Studies on foraging site selection during the breeding period of waterbirds can identify key ecological factors, providing a scientific foundation for their conservation and habitat management.
