Foraging Behaviour of Shorebirds

Journal of Ecological Society, 1995
The study examines the foraging behaviour of three species of shorebirds, the Little Stint, Curlew Sandpiper, and Marsh Sandpiper, in the Vedaranyam swamp in India. The peck rate, or the rate at which the birds peck at their food, was observed and recorded for each species.

Shorebird habitat selection and foraging behaviour have important implications for management at an internationally important non‐breeding wetland

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
It is imperative to manage wetlands appropriately in the non‐breeding range of migratory shorebirds because their habitat quality impacts survival and reproductive performance.

Knowledge gaps in trace element contamination of shorebirds and allies along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway: A review

Avian Research
Trace elements (metals and metalloids) are naturally occurring substances that may be essential at trace levels but become toxic pollutants at higher concentrations, accumulating in biological systems and posing severe risks to wildlife.

Automated VHF Radiotelemetry Revealed Site-Specific Differences in Fall Migration Strategies of Semipalmated Sandpipers on Stopover in the Gulf of Maine

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The Gulf of Maine has long been recognized as a major stopover area for shorebirds in fall. Knowing how birds move within and beyond the region will be paramount to protecting threatened shorebird habitat.

Measuring the Recreational Use Value of Migratory Shorebirds on the Delaware Bay [PDF]

In this article we estimate the recreational use value of household trips to view shorebirds during the annual horseshoe crab/shorebird migration on the Delaware Bay. We use contingent valuation to estimate the value of day and overnight trips separately

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.

Sea-level rise causes feeding habitat loss for migratory shorebirds in remote coastal wetlands of Brazilian Amazon

Environmental Research Letters
Sea-level rise (SLR) can cause significant changes in coastal wetlands, such as the retreat of coastlines and sedimentary shifts in tidal flats. In areas lacking coastal defenses, rising sea levels are expected to drive the inland migration of coastal ...
