Snowy Plover Nest Site Selection, Spatial Patterning, and Temperatures in the Southern High Plains of Texas [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2012
Snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus) populations have declined throughout their range, in part because of habitat degradation and poor nest success, making information regarding regionally specific nest site selection and spatial patterns important when ...

CeutaOPEN, individual-based field observations of breeding snowy plovers Charadrius nivosus. [PDF]

Sci Data, 2020
Abstract Shorebirds (part of the order Charadriiformes) have a global distribution and exhibit remarkable variation in ecological and behavioural traits that are pertinent to many core questions in the fields of evolutionary ecology and conservation biology.

Polygamy slows down population divergence in shorebirds. [PDF]

Evolution, 2017
Sexual selection may act as a promotor of speciation since divergent mate choice and competition for mates can rapidly lead to reproductive isolation.

Population Size of Snowy Plovers Breeding in North America [PDF]

Waterbirds, 2012
Snowy Plovers (Charadrius nivosus) may be one of the rarest shorebirds in North America yet a com- prehensive assessment of their abundance and distribution has not been completed. During 2007 and 2008, 557 discrete wetlands were surveyed and nine additional large wetland complexes sampled in Mexico and the USA.

Evidence that human disturbance reduces Snowy Plover chick survival

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2003
Abstract Disturbance from human recreation may impact vulnerable life stages of beach-nesting plovers (Charadrius spp.). Although human recreation may decrease hatching success of Snowy Plovers (C. alexandrinus), we are unaware of any studies indicating an impact on chick survival.

Shorebird Monitoring Using Spatially Explicit Occupancy and Abundance

Land, 2023
Loss of habitat and human disturbance are major factors in the worldwide decline of shorebird populations, including that of the threatened migratory piping plover (Charadrius melodus).

Nest survival of the Snowy Plover Charadrius nivosus at Marismas Nacionales, Nayarit

Huitzil, 2022
Breeding habitat loss and nest predation are considered the main causes of Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus) populations decline worldwide. We evaluated the effects of season, nest age, distance to nearest vegetation patch, distance to nearest body of ...

Climate change consequences for differential adult survival and the mating system of a temperate breeding shorebird

Ecosphere, 2023
Managing for the effects of climate change on species whose populations are currently imperiled requires detailed knowledge of the relationship between their demographic rates and climate variables.

The sands of time: Predicting sea level rise impacts to barrier island habitats

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Coastal beach ecosystems support critical habitat for numerous species and are vulnerable to sea level rise. Sand beaches are spatially and temporally dynamic, making it difficult to accurately predict future habitat loss – estimates that are crucial as ...

Factors influencing the abundance of wintering western snowy plovers at Crown Memorial State Beach

California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2021
Survival during the nonbreeding season, when mortality from food shortages and raptor predation is highest, influences shorebird population growth. These selection pressures, as well as anthropogenic influences, can shape wintering shorebird habitat use ...
