Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coastal wetlands in China provide important stopover sites for migratory shorebird species. The loss of natural wetlands caused by land reclamation over the past few decades poses a major threat to shorebird populations.

Shorebird loss increases soil CO2 emissions in coastal wetlands under restoration [PDF]
Fundamental ResearchCountries worldwide are increasingly adopting nature-based solutions (NbS) to tackle the challenges of global climate change. One recently proposed NbS is wildlife conservation, yet the impact of wildlife on carbon emissions in ecosystems under ...

Clade 2.3.4.4b Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 Pathology in a Common Shorebird Species (Sanderling; Calidris alba) in Virginia, USA [PDF]
AnimalsAnseriformes (waterfowl) and Charadriiformes (shorebirds) are well-recognized natural reservoirs of low pathogenic (LP) influenza A viruses (IAVs). Historically, LP IAVs circulate among healthy individuals during seasonal, and often transcontinental ...

Biotic and abiotic factors affecting Atlantic ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata) spatiotemporal activity at an important shorebird nesting site in Virginia. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAtlantic ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) are predators of beach-nesting shorebird nests and chicks on the United States' Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Ghost crabs may also disturb birds, altering foraging, habitat use, or nest and brood attendance patterns ...

Seasonal Differences in Migration Routes and Stopover Use of Greater Sand Plovers Between Mongolia and the Beibu Gulf Revealed by GPS Tracking [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSeasonal migration strategies can vary with life history demands and environmental context, yet such contrasts remain poorly documented for many shorebirds along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway (EAAF).

Diversity, 2022 In shallow lakes, floating-leaved plants can produce dense lakebeds that dramatically alter freshwater ecosystems and impact macrobenthic communities. Shorebirds are morphologically diverse and utilize different foraging strategies; they can partition ...

Prey distribution, physical habitat features, and guild traits interact to produce contrasting shorebird assemblages among foraging patches. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Worldwide declines in shorebird populations, driven largely by habitat loss and degradation, motivate environmental managers to preserve and restore the critical coastal habitats on which these birds depend.

Identification of priority shorebird conservation areas in the Caribbean [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Despite being geographically central to the Atlantic Americas Flyway for migratory birds, the Caribbean is often overlooked or underappreciated when addressing the conservation of North American shorebirds.

Evidence‐based conservation in a changing world: lessons from waterbird individual‐based models
Ecosphere, 2021 Drivers of environmental change are causing novel combinations of pressures on ecological systems. Prediction in ecology often uses understanding of past conditions to make predictions to the future, but such an approach can breakdown when future ...
