ABSTRACT Historic rice‐field watersheds in Georgetown County, South Carolina, experience climate‐driven hydrologic changes threatening waterfowl habitat. The reproducible GIS–Python workflow combines HUC‐scale delineation with ArcGIS Pro processing and MACA‐v2 downscaled climate analysis through grouped cross‐validation to measure and explain stream ...

This 9‐year study examined spatial and temporal variation in densities and intake rates of migratory shorebirds across multiple coastal habitats on India's west coast under differing levels of disturbance, prey density and predation risk. Anthropogenic waste subsidies increased predator densities and attack rates, leading to reduced shorebird densities

Does human disturbance affect physiological traits of Two-banded Plovers nesting on an urban beach?
In coastal Patagonia, Argentina, shorebird breeding habitats overlap with high levels of human recreational activities, such as dog-walking and driving motorized vehicles.

Helminth parasites in six species of shorebirds (Charadrii) from the Coast of Belize
Thirteen species of helminth parasites were recovered from six species of charadriid shorebirds (Aves: Charadriiformes) from Belize: the ruddy turnstone, Arenaria interpres, the snowy plover, Charadrius alexandrinus, the semipalmated plover, C ...

Shorebirds Affect Ecosystem Functioning on an Intertidal Mudflat
Ecosystem functioning and services have provided a rationale for conservation over the past decades. Intertidal muddy sediments, and the microphytobenthic biofilms that inhabit them, perform crucial ecosystem functions including erosion protection ...

Beyond Conventional Cooling: Advanced Micro/Nanostructures for Managing Extreme Heat Flux
This review examines the design, application, and manufacturing of biomimetic or engineered micro/nanostructures for managing high heat‐flux in multi‐level electronics by enhancing conductive, convective, phase‐changing, and radiative heat transfer mechanisms, highlighting their potential for efficient, targeted thermal management, and future prospects.

In many European estuaries, extensive areas of intertidal habitats consist of bare mudflats and sandflats that harbour a very high abundance and biomass of macrobenthic invertebrates. The high stocks of macrobenthos in turn provide important food sources

Epidemiological Baseline of Influenza Virus in Wild Aquatic Birds in Hong Kong during the Pre-H5N1 Endemic Era [PDF]
Influenza virus surveillance was conducted on wild ducks and shorebirds in Hong Kong at the Mai Po Nature Reserve to determine whether East Asian wild aquatic birds passing through or overwintering in Hong Kong are reservoirs of H5N1 influenza viruses ...

Matching Multiple Backgrounds: Egg Camouflage Across Different Habitats in a Shorebird
We studied egg camouflage in Kentish plovers nesting in two visually distinct habitats, sandy beaches and salt marshes, in southern Spain. Despite initial expectations of local adaptation or compromise camouflage, the birds instead chose nest sites within each habitat that shared overlapping colour and visual texture characteristics, allowing effective

Factors promoting the recolonization of Oahu, Hawaii, by Bristle-thighed Curlews
Suitable habitat for Arctic-breeding migratory shorebirds is decreasing at their traditional wintering islands and atolls in the Central Pacific Flyway (i.e., Oceania) due to habitat degradation, reclamation, and sea-level rise.
