Montana Prairie Pothole Joint Venture Breeding Shorebird Monitoring Project [PDF]

, 2013
Populations of several shorebird species in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) appear to be declining, largely because of loss of grasslands and wetlands. Marbled godwit (Limosa fedoa), long-billed curlew (Numenius americanus), willet (Tringa semipalmata),

Shorebird Vigilance from Biological Influences [PDF]

My research project involves researching two different species of wild shorebirds, Marbled Godwits and Eurasian Whimbrels, and studying which biological factors like predator abundance, tide height, foraging rates, and time of day play a role in vigilant

Effect of low‐traffic roads on abundance of ground‐nesting birds in sub‐Arctic habitats

Journal of Avian Biology
Roads are among the most widespread anthropogenic structures, and their presence can impact biodiversity in surrounding landscapes through disturbance and collision risk, particularly when traffic volumes are high.

Haemosporidian infections are more common in breeding shorebirds than in migrating shorebirds

Ibis
Migrating animals are thought to be important spillover sources for novel pathogens. Haemosporidians (malaria‐related parasites) are one such group of pathogens that commonly spillover into novel host communities if competent vectors are present. In birds, shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers and allies) perform some of the longest avian migrations, yet ...
