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

Conservation 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 ...

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.

Spatiotemporal scaling of North American continental interior wetlands: implications for shorebird conservation [PDF]

, 2012
Within interior North America, erratic weather patterns and heterogeneous wetland complexes cause wide spatio-temporal variation in the resources available to migrating shorebirds.

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

Restoration 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.

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.

Dataset of Grey plover (Pluvialis squatarola) diet composition on the SW Black Sea coast using DNA metabarcoding [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Wader populations have been declining globally due to widespread anthropogenic habitat degradation and loss. In this context, food quality and availability at migration stop-over sites is crucial for wader migration success.We studied the diet ...

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

Restoration 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.

American Shad [PDF]

, 2012
American shad populations are in serious decline along the Atlantic Coast. By restoring American shad we can protect rivers and coastal ecosystems where shad provide a crucial source of food to other wildlife including striped bass, bluefish, shorebirds,

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.
