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 ...

Habitat occupancy of the threatened Diademed Plover (Phegornis mitchellii) is not affected by llama grazing or peatland size, but declines with peatland humidity. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMany habitat-specialist organisms occur in distinct, patchy habitat, yet do not occupy all patches, and an important question is why apparently suitable habitat remains unoccupied.

Feather corticosterone levels in the southern lapwing revealed no association with the degree of urbanization [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyThe urbanization process modifies the environment in which wildlife lives. On the one hand, it modifies the biotic and abiotic elements and introduces new stress factors like light pollution, noise pollution, and chemical pollution.
