Journal of Avian Biology, 2023 Reliable estimates of adult survival for many shorebird species are lacking. We used Cormack–Jolly–Seber (CJS) methods to provide an estimate of apparent, or local, survival (φ) of a population of whimbrels, Numenius phaeopus, breeding in the subarctic ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Studies of seasonal changes in heavy metal contamination in three shorebird species at Teesmouth, North east England [PDF]
, 1992 Concentrations of lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc were measured in kidney and liver tissues of three species of shorebirds that winter on the industrial River Tees estuary: Sanderling, Calidris alba; Ringed Plover, Charadrius hiatacula; and Grey Plover,

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of variation in nest predation of ground‐nesting birds
Ibis, EarlyView.Predation and communities of predators of ground‐nesting bird nests and fledglings have been studied across multiple groups of ground‐nesting birds, such as waders, waterbirds, gamebirds and passerines, and habitats, but differences and similarities between groups are less studied.

Journal of Field OrnithologyPopulation abundance and trend estimates are crucial to science, management, and conservation. Shorebirds, which are abundant in many coastal habitats and play important roles in coastal ecosystems, are facing some of the most dramatic population ...

Seasonal variation in preen gland secretions of Tristram's Storm Petrel (Hydrobates tristrami)
Ibis, EarlyView.Preen gland secretions are known to vary depending on sex, season and species and are thought to play essential roles in avian life history. However, their chemical composition and functions remain largely unclear in Procellariiform seabirds with well‐developed olfactory senses. Storm petrels, known for their distinctive body odour, may use preen gland

A global perspective on the annual cycles of whimbrels
Ibis, EarlyView.Comparative analyses are central to understanding broad‐scale patterns in avian ecology, yet their application is often constrained by fragmented and uneven data availability. Recent advances in tracking technology have generated unprecedented insights into shorebird movements, resulting in numerous studies on single populations or flyways.

Ibis, EarlyView.Global climate change is reshaping the schedules and routes of migratory birds, which can disrupt annual cycles, ecological interactions and the fitness trade‐offs of migrating or staying resident. In particular, climate change has led to advances in arrival at the breeding grounds and to shifts in the timing of post‐breeding migration, whereby both ...

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Native grasslands provide important breeding habitat for many upland‐nesting waterfowl and shorebirds. However, recent increases in oil and gas development in native grassland may alter the quantity and quality of this globally threatened habitat.
