The Influence of Tide, Wind, and Habitat on the Abundance and Foraging Rate of Three Species of Imperiled Plovers in Southwest Florida, USA [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus), and Wilson’s Plover (Charadrius wilsonia) are imperiled species that overlap in both their range and habitat outside the breeding season.

Dataset of Grey plover (Pluvialis squatarola) diet composition on the SW Black Sea coast using DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalWader populations have been declining globally due to widespread anthropogenic habitat degradation and loss. In this context, food quality and availability at migration stop-over sites is crucial for wader migration success.We studied the diet ...

Variation in nest survival of three species of tropical plovers in Madagascar with clutch size, age of nest, year and El Niño effect [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionA combination of life history traits and environmental conditions has been highlighted as the main drivers of avian breeding success. While drivers of breeding success are well known in some species, especially birds in northern, temperate regions ...

Snowy plover nest site selection, spatial patterning, and temperatures in the Southern High Plains of Texas [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Management, 2012 Snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus) populations have declined throughout their range, in part because of habitat degradation and poor nest success, making information regarding regionally specific nest site selection and spatial patterns important when ...

Integrated population modelling reveals potential drivers of demography from partially aligned data: a case study of snowy plover declines under human stressors [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Knowledge of demography is essential for understanding wildlife population dynamics and developing appropriate conservation plans. However, population survey and demographic data (e.g., capture-recapture) are not always aligned in space and time ...
