“Coastal” versus “inland” shorebird species: interlinked fundamental dichotomies between their life- and demographic histories? [PDF]
, 2003 In this contribution I present an extended but testable hypothesis (or “evolutionary scenario”) to explain how and why many life-history features of latitudinal migrant shorebirds, basically characterised by the correlation between habitat choice in the ...

Over-summering shorebirds at the Kerala coasts, west-coast of India
Watershed Ecology and the Environment, 2023 Over-summering is a phenomenon usually exhibited by migratory shorebirds. Those individuals that over-summer at their wintering grounds appear to be sexually immature or unfit to meet the risks of migration. Documentation of such migratory shorebirds are

Habitat Use of Migratory Shorebirds on the Coastline of Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province
Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2017 Mangrove forests an intertidal mudflat in the eastern coastal region of Deli Serdang are important habitats for migratory shorebirds. Land-use change and forest conversion threaten this important stopover point for migrating species. The lack of data and

Interactions between shorebirds and benthic invertebrates at Culbin Sands lagoon, NE Scotland: effects of avian predation on their prey community density and structure [PDF]
, 2007 In the North Sea, during autumn-winter, intertidal flats often receive a massive influx of migratory shorebirds (wildfowl, waders and seabirds), which utilise the high prey densities that are available.

Mechanisms promoting higher growth rate in arctic than in temperate shorebirds [PDF]
, 2002 We compared prefledging growth, energy expenditure, and time budgets in the arctic-breeding red knot (Calidris canutus) to those in temperate shorebirds, to investigate how arctic chicks achieve a high growth rate despite energetic difficulties ...
