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 ...

Evaluating the effects of tracking devices on survival, breeding success, behavior, and condition of a small, partially migratory shorebird

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.
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]

open access: yesThe Condor, 2019
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

Evaluating environmental drivers and synchrony of Arctic shorebird demographic rates to inform conservation management

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 4, June 2025.
Abstract Many Arctic‐breeding shorebirds are assumed to be declining, yet obtaining reliable estimates of species' demographic rates and trends is difficult because of challenges collecting data in remote breeding regions and throughout the annual cycle.

Outwash Events Inhibit Vegetation Recovery and Prolong Coastal Vulnerability

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
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

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
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 Foraging Site Selection During Different Breeding Stages of the Endangered Scaly‐Sided Merganser in Northeast China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
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.
