Hunter perceptions of a recreationally‐hunted invasive species during eradication from an island wildlife refuge

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We quantified recreationists perceptions of wild pigs during an eradication program at Blackbeard Island, Georgia, U.S., by distributing a survey to participants of the 2024 archery hunt. Hunters overwhelmingly supported wild pig eradication (73.0%) and were concerned about wild pig impacts on native species (98.1%), yet only half believed eradication ...

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Survival of red knots in the northern Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Highly migratory shorebirds are among the fastest declining avian guilds, so determining causes of mortality is critically important for their conservation. Most of these species depend on a specific geographic arrangement of suitable sites that reliably

Provision of artificial shelter on beaches is associated with improved shorebird fledging success

open access: yes, 2011
Artificial chick shelters might improve productivity of beach-nesting birds threatened by anthropogenic disturbance. We investigated the efficacy of three different chick shelter designs against four criteria: accessibility to chicks over time, thermal ...

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration is a global priority due to its critical role in enhancing climate resilience and biodiversity. Tidal reinstatement, through the removal or modification of tidal barriers, is a promising method to restore these ecosystems.

Numerical Response of Migratory Shorebirds to Prey Distribution in a Large Temperate Arid Wetland, China

open access: yesScientifica, 2016
Wuliangsuhai Lake provides important breeding and stopover habitats for shorebirds. The health of this wetland ecosystem is rapidly deteriorating due to eutrophication and water pollution and environmental management is urgently needed.

Responsible Marine Wildlife Viewing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Marine wildlife viewing is good for Alaska's economy, and good for the participants' souls. But is it good for the animals? The answer is yes, if boaters and tide-poolers use care when near the animals.

Lattices of hydrodynamically interacting flapping swimmers

open access: yes, 2019
Fish schools and bird flocks exhibit complex collective dynamics whose self-organization principles are largely unknown. The influence of hydrodynamics on such collectives has been relatively unexplored theoretically, in part due to the difficulty in ...

Odor swamping did not deter mammalian predators from depredating shorebird nests on beaches

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology
Reducing the risk of declines to the threatened population of Piping Plovers ( Charadrius melodus ) along the Atlantic coast USA, is a priority for U.S. state and federal agencies.

The Status of a PA Endangered Bird- the Upland Sandpiper

open access: yes, 2013
The upland sandpiper (Bartramia Longuardia) has experienced a steep population decline in the northeastern U.S. since the mid-20th Century. In Pennsylvania it was found in less than 0.5% of atlas blocks during the Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in ...
