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.

Spatiotemporal scaling of North American continental interior wetlands: implications for shorebird conservation [PDF]
Landscape Ecology, 2012 Within interior North America, erratic weather patterns and heterogeneous wetland complexes cause wide spatio-temporal variation in the resources available to migrating shorebirds.

“Coastal” versus “inland” shorebird species: interlinked fundamental dichotomies between their life- and demographic histories? [PDF]
, 2003 In this contribution I present an extended but testable hypothesis (or “evolutionary scenario”) to explain how and why many life-history features of latitudinal migrant shorebirds, basically characterised by the correlation between habitat choice in the ...

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 ...

FACETS, 2023 Animal populations take advantage of environmental heterogeneity to partition themselves into microhabitat niches. Such partitioning plays an important role in regulating interspecific competition and community structure by allowing multiple species to ...
