Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 1087-1098, November 2026.Juvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

Relationship of Hydrological Conditions and Populations of Breeding Piping Plovers [PDF]
, 2001 I used hydrological data and surveys of breeding piping plover (Charadrius melodus) from 1988 to 1997 to assess the relationship of water levels to piping plover breeding distribution, abundance, and habitat use in North Dakota.

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2253-2264, October 2026.ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Creating an Interactive Visual Database of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus)
, 2016 Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) face many threats, substantially reducing their populations. Conservation strategies have included predator control and symbolic fencing, and complex records of plovers’ reproductive success have been kept for many ...

A global latitudinal decline in breeding site fidelity emerges from a single biome
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Species that breed in multiple years can either return to the same location to reproduce between seasons or disperse to a different location. Previous studies have shown that breeding site fidelity varies with species‐ and individual‐specific traits, but much of the observed variation remains unexplained.

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1437-1447, October 2026.Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...
