Success of captive-rearing for a threatened shorebird
Endangered Species Research, 2013 Captive-breeding and -rearing programs have been widely used for the conservation and recovery of imperiled species, and the success of such programs should be rigorously evaluated.

Hurricane Sandy and engineered response created habitat for a threatened shorebird
Ecosphere, 2019 The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of hurricanes to ecological systems are seldom acknowledged.

Extremely low Plasmodium prevalence in wild plovers and coursers from Cape Verde and Madagascar
Malaria Journal, 2017 Background Relatively little is known about the prevalence of blood parasites in shorebirds, especially those breeding in the tropics. The prevalence of blood parasites of the genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon was assessed in blood ...

Factors influencing the abundance of wintering western snowy plovers at Crown Memorial State Beach
California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2021 Survival during the nonbreeding season, when mortality from food shortages and raptor predation is highest, influences shorebird population growth. These selection pressures, as well as anthropogenic influences, can shape wintering shorebird habitat use ...

Avian botulism at a sugar beet processing plant inSouth Moravia (Czech Republic)
Veterinární Medicína, 2005 An episode of mortality in waterbirds occurred on a sedimentation reservoir with effluents from the sugar beet processing plant at Hrusovany n.J. (South Moravia, Czech Republic) in summer 2003: tens of black-headed gulls (Larus ridibundus), several ...

Demographic Histories and Genome-Wide Patterns of Divergence in Incipient Species of Shorebirds
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Understanding how incipient species are maintained with gene flow is a fundamental question in evolutionary biology. Whole genome sequencing of multiple individuals holds great potential to illustrate patterns of genomic differentiation as well as the ...
