Plasticity of Least Tern and Piping Plover nesting behaviors in response to sand temperature [PDF]

, 2020
Birds that nest on the ground in open areas, such as Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) and Interior Least Terns (Sternula antillarum athalassos), are exposed to high temperatures in thermally stressful environments.

Capturing Crows for the Protection of Threatened and Endangered Shorebird Species

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Corvids are highly intelligent and capable of thriving in anthropogenic ecosystems. American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) regularly depredate threatened and endangered avian species.

Breeding biology of the Atlantic Least Tern (Sternula antillarum antillarum) in a colony of the south of the Gulf of Mexico: new perspectives for its threat status

Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 2016
Although the Atlantic Least Tern ( Sternula antillarum antillarum ) faces the same threats that caused the California Least Tern ( S. antillarum browni ) and the Interior Least Tern ( S. antillarum athalassos ) to be declared threatened, it is considered as “Least concern” globally, mainly because of its wide geographic distribution ...

Hurricane Sandy and engineered response created habitat for a threatened shorebird

Ecosphere, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2019., 2019
Abstract The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of hurricanes to ecological systems are seldom acknowledged. In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy overwashed Fire Island and Westhampton Island, New York.

Monitoring faunal responses to biodegradable oyster reef restoration materials with camera traps in a subtropical estuary

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Oyster reef restoration has become increasingly crucial due to global population declines. Intertidal oyster reefs provide essential foraging and loafing (resting) grounds to estuarine fauna. To reduce plastic pollution from traditional materials, biodegradable restoration materials have been introduced and are shown to support oyster recruitment ...

Streamflow, Sediment Transport, and Geomorphic Change during the 2011 Flood on the Missouri River Near Bismarck–Mandan, ND

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1151-1167, October 2018., 2018
Abstract Geomorphic change from extreme events in large managed rivers has implications for river management. A steady‐state, quasi‐three‐dimensional hydrodynamic model was applied to a 29‐km reach of the Missouri River using 2011 flood data. Model results for an extreme flow (500‐year recurrence interval [RI]) and an elevated managed flow (75‐year RI)

Evaluating the efficacy of carbachol at reducing corvid predation on artificial nests

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Nest predation often limits recovery of threatened and endangered birds, especially ground‐nesting species. Accordingly, a variety of techniques are used to reduce the impact of nest predation on listed species.
