Western snowy plover breeding dispersal in response to nest failure in Monterey Bay, California, USA

Endangered Species Research
We examined short-distance breeding dispersal between nesting attempts of the serially polygamous western snowy plover Anarhynchus nivosus nivosus, a federally threatened species in Monterey Bay, California, USA, during 2013-2020.

Migration strategy and constraint in migration behavior vary among shorebird species with different life histories

Ecosphere
Migration strategy is a key behavioral characteristic guiding how migratory species time their annual cycles and use habitat. Understanding variation in migration strategy within and among species and individuals can be useful for understanding how birds

In tundra plovers the frequency of inner flight feather replacement varies with length of long-distance flights [PDF]

, 2014
The repair jobs that birds have to do to maintain high quality plumage take energy and time, so should be under intense selection. Recently, we have shown that secondary moult in the Eurasian Golden Plover Pluvialis apricaria is incomplete, irregular and

Relationship between hatching success, nest location and egg traits in Kentish plovers Anarhynchus alexandrinus breeding in an oasis wetland in the Sahara Desert, Algeria

The European Zoological Journal
The habitats of many species are distributed unevenly and heterogeneously across geographic space and suitable habitats may form isolated “habitat islands” surrounded by hostile environment.

Genetic, phenotypic and ecological differentiation suggests incipient speciation in two Charadrius plovers along the Chinese coast

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Speciation with gene flow is an alternative to the nascence of new taxa in strict allopatric separation. Indeed, many taxa have parapatric distributions at present. It is often unclear if these are secondary contacts, e.g.

Cryptic sexual size dimorphism in Malagasy plovers Charadrius spp.

, 2010
Many small plovers Charadrius spp. have sexually monomorphic plumage and cryptic sexual size dimorphism. The objective of our study was to assess the variation in body sizes between male and female plovers breeding in Madagascar.

Extrinsic factors similarly affect nest survival of a threatened shorebird in natural and human-created habitats

Avian Conservation and Ecology
Knowledge of factors that influence nest survival can inform effective conservation management for imperiled avian species. Habitat availability and quality are common priorities of conservation efforts, and climate and interspecific associations can ...

Long-distance dispersal in a recovering endangered shorebird population facilitates recolonization of historical nesting sites following decades of extirpation

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022
After extirpation from most of the Great Lakes by the 1980s, the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus circumcinctus) did not nest again outside Michigan until 1998. The number of Plovers breeding in the region has gradually increased, with nesting locations

Evolutionary and Ecological Flexibility in Migration of Charadrius Plovers *

, 2019
Plovers of the subfamily Charadriinae demonstrate nearly every conceivable annual movement pattern found among birds, including long- and short-distance latitudinal migration, altitudinal migration, irruption, nomadism, and sedentary habits.
