Body condition of shorebirds upon arrival at their Siberian breeding grounds [PDF]
, 2009 Arctic breeding shorebirds carry substantial body stores on their long-distance migrations from their non-breeding grounds. Upon arrival at the breeding area the remains of these stores can be used for egg formation, insurance against poor feeding ...

Early miocene shorebird-like footprints from the ebro basin, La Rioja, Spain: Paleoecological and paleoenvironmental significance [PDF]
, 2015 Small shorebird-like footprints have been discovered in Cenicero (La Rioja, Spain). They are preserved in a sandstone block of the transition unit between the Nájera and Haro Formations from the Ebro Basin.

Plasma metabolites reflect seasonally changing metabolic processes in a long-distance migrant shorebird (Calidris canutus) [PDF]
, 2002 Migrant birds have tightly scheduled annual cycles consisting of several distinct life cycle (sub-)stages such as reproduction, migration, moult and overwintering, each of which have specific metabolic requirements (e.g., fattening during migration ...

Indigenous knowledge in conservation science and the process of a two‐way research collaboration
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Environmental research often occurs in short bursts with the duration of fieldwork often governed by the time constraints of a funding body. Collaborations between academic researchers and Indigenous People have occurred for many years and the exchange ...

Exceptionally high apparent adult survival in three tropical species of plovers in Madagascar
Journal of Avian Biology, 2022 Adult survival is a key component of population dynamics, and understanding variation in and the drivers of adult survival rates and longevity is critical for ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as for conservation biology and practice. Tropical

Broad‐scale changes in tundra‐nesting bird abundance in response to hyperabundant geese
Ecosphere, 2019 Environmental changes can propagate through food webs in complex ways via trophic cascades. In the North American Arctic, hyperabundant populations of geese are causing significant habitat change and the resulting trophic cascades are known to impact ...
