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 ...

Cliff top habitats provide important alternative feeding resources for wading birds of conservation importance wintering on non-estuarine coasts [PDF]

, 2014
Rocky shores and beaches are important over-wintering areas for non-estuarine waders but have rarely been studied. We examined cliff top habitat use by 6 species of wader over 75 km of coast to assess their potential value as alternative feeding sites to

Will improving wastewater treatment impact shorebirds? Effects of sewage discharges on estuarine invertebrates and birds [PDF]

, 2012
Human communities often discharge wastewaters into estuaries, influencing their organic and pollutant loading, benthic community and trophic structure.

Neotropical Bird Migration During The Ice Ages: Orientation And Ecology [PDF]

, 1996
Reconstruction of breeding habitat of North American Neotropical migrants 18,000 years ago and 9,000 years ago indicated major shifts in both location and composition of plant communities relative to present conditions.

Dependence of spatial scale in landscape associations with cause‐specific predation of snowy plover nests

Ecosphere, 2020
Understanding relationships between habitat and ecological processes often depends on the spatial scale at which the landscape is measured. A common objective in studies of avian nesting ecology is to link habitat characteristics with nest predation for ...

Influenza A Viruses in Ruddy Turnstones (Arenaria interpres); Connecting Wintering and Migratory Sites with an Ecological Hotspot at Delaware Bay

Viruses, 2020
Each May for over three decades, avian influenza A viruses (IAVs) have been isolated from shorebirds and gulls (order Charadriiformes) at Delaware Bay (DE Bay), USA, which is a critical stopover site for shorebirds on their spring migration to arctic ...

A Decadal Change in Shorebird Populations in Response to Temperature, Wind, and Precipitation at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA

Birds
Despite increasing conservation efforts for shorebirds, there are widespread declines in many shorebird species in North America. Climate change is causing significant shorebird range shifts and population declines.

Spatio-temporal responses of predators to hyperabundant geese affect risk of predation for sympatric-nesting species.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The Arctic is undergoing rapid changes, with anthropogenic shifts in climate having important and well-documented impacts on habitat. Populations of predators and their prey are affected by changing climate and other anthropogenic factors, and these ...
