Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract Earth's ecological dynamics are largely rhythmic, tied to regular cycles such as seasons, lunar phases, days, or tides. Subdisciplines of ecology such as phenology have developed specific concepts and metrics adapted to describe and analyze cyclical dynamics, but they operate in a largely unidimensional framework.

"The Economic Value of Viewing Migratory Shorebirds on the Delaware Bay: An Application of the Single Site Travel Cost Model Using On-Site Data" [PDF]
Using data from an on-site survey of recreational birders in southern Delaware during the annual horseshoe crab/shorebird spring migration, we estimated four truncated count data models of recreation demand accounting for endogenous stratification due to

Response of Waterbirds to Salt Pond Enhancements and Island Creation in the San Francisco Bay [PDF]
, 2013 Historically, San Francisco Bay supported the largest salt pond complex on the Pacific coast of North America, and these areas have been used by large numbers of migrating and wintering waterbirds for more than a century.

Shorebird Breeding Biology in Wetlands of the Playa Lakes, Texas, USA [PDF]
, 2005 Wetlands in the Playa Lakes Region of Texas are important habitats for North American wintering waterfowl and migrant shorebirds. However, shorebird breeding biology has been overlooked in characterizing the region’s ecological importance.

Stochastic colonization, transient and boom–bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Boom–bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is considered a transient phase preceding a long‐term population equilibrium.

Do tissue carbon and nitrogen limit population growth of weevils introduced to control waterhyacinth at a site in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California? [PDF]
, 2004 Waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes(Mart.) Solms), is a serious problem in the Sacramento Delta. Two weevil species (Neochetina bruchi Hustache and N. eichhorniae Warner) have been introduced as biological control agents. The purpose of this study was

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.

A national assessment of waterbird hunting in coastal wetlands of Suriname, South America
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.We examined waterbird harvest levels in Suriname using hunter survey data from 2006 and 2016. The analysis showed a significant decline in the average harvest per hunter over the decade, except for blue‐winged teal and migratory shorebirds. However, the sustainability of current harvest levels remains uncertain, underscoring the need for a national ...
