Do tropical cyclones shape shorebird habitat patterns? Biogeoclimatology of snowy plovers in Florida.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundThe Gulf coastal ecosystems in Florida are foci of the highest species richness of imperiled shoreline dependent birds in the USA. However environmental processes that affect their macroecological patterns, like occupancy and abundance, are not

CEUTA snowy plover open access data - COMMENTARY

open access: yes, 2021
Eberhart-Phillips et al. (2020, Scientific Data 7: 149) recently published a data-paper CeutaOPEN. However, the publication has significant shortcomings: the article does not explain the history nor the context of the project, it did not give credit to the developers of field methodology and data structure, and fails to acknowledge key contributions to

Population Viability Analysis of the Western Snowy Plover.

open access: yes, 2023
A key component to adaptive management of threatened and endangered species is periodic updating of recovery goals and management priorities after implementation of previous management strategies. This report describes an updated metapopulation viability analysis for the distinct population segment (DPS) of western snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus ...

Dependence of spatial scale in landscape associations with cause‐specific predation of snowy plover nests

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Understanding relationships between habitat and ecological processes often depends on the spatial scale at which the landscape is measured. A common objective in studies of avian nesting ecology is to link habitat characteristics with nest predation for ...
