Eggs in the freezer: energetic consequences of nest site and nest design in Arctic breeding shorebirds [PDF]
, 2012 Birds construct nests for several reasons. For species that breed in the Arctic, the insulative properties of nests are very important. Incubation is costly there and due to an increasing surface to volume ratio, more so in smaller species. Small species

Review of contaminant levels and effects in shorebirds: Knowledge gaps and conservation priorities
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Environmental pollution has emerged as a major threat to bird populations. Many shorebird populations are declining, although contamination has been documented in some shorebirds, evidence of negative impacts is sparse and this important topic remains ...
