Plasma metabolites reflect seasonally changing metabolic processes in a long-distance migrant shorebird (Calidris canutus) [PDF]

, 2002
Migrant birds have tightly scheduled annual cycles consisting of several distinct life cycle (sub-)stages such as reproduction, migration, moult and overwintering, each of which have specific metabolic requirements (e.g., fattening during migration ...

Stochastic colonization, transient and boom–bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Boom–bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is considered a transient phase preceding a long‐term population equilibrium.

Contrasted habitat selection among Eurasian curlew populations according to landscape heterogeneity and breeding stage

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.

Does human disturbance affect physiological traits of Two-banded Plovers nesting on an urban beach?

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2023
In coastal Patagonia, Argentina, shorebird breeding habitats overlap with high levels of human recreational activities, such as dog-walking and driving motorized vehicles.

Observing the effectiveness of stewards and cameras in promoting behavior for beach‐nesting bird conservation: A mixed‐methods approach

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding the factors that influence human behavior is crucial for effective wildlife conservation strategies. This study examines the impact of conservation stewards and cameras on beachgoers' adherence to conservation guidelines designed to protect beach‐nesting birds.

High daily energy expenditure of incubating shorebirds on High Arctic tundra: a circumpolar study [PDF]

, 2003
1. Given the allometric scaling of thermoregulatory capacity in birds, and the cold and exposed Arctic environment, it was predicted that Arctic-breeding shorebirds should incur high costs during incubation.

Climate Change, Sea-Level Rise and Implications for Coastal and Estuarine Shoreline Management with Particular Reference to the Ecology of Intertidal Benthic Macrofauna in NW Europe

Biology, 2012
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]

, 2010
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 ...
