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 ...

Seasonal changes in nutritional condition of shorebirds (charadrii) during the non-breeding seasons [PDF]
, 1981 The nutritional condition (fat and protein reserves)of shorebirds was studied, mainly at Teesmouth and Lindisfarne, north-east England, during the non-breeding season.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Globally, habitat loss or degradation is a major threat to many species, and those with specific habitat requirements are particularly vulnerable. Many species of wading birds (Charadrii) are dependent upon intertidal sites to feed, but, as a result of ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...

Under‐Explored Species, Breeds and Cell Types With Potential for Cultivated Meat Production
Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates how the strategic selection of overlooked cell lines from novel species and specific agricultural breeds can help overcome current manufacturing bottlenecks in cultivated meat production. The schematic links the concept of an ‘ideal cell line’ to four key bioprocessing and product advantages that can be optimised ...

Sperm competition and sperm length in shorebirds [PDF]
, 1999 We investigated how sperm morphology varies across 16 species of shorebirds in the Scolopacidae, Charadriidae, and Jacanidae. Sperm were significantly longer in nonmonogamous than in socially monogamous species.
