Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Using PLS-SEM models to explore the interactions of meteorology and landscape pattern changes on waterbird diversity: A case of the Liaohe Estuary

Ecological Informatics
Waterbirds are highly sensitive to environmental quality, with climate and landscape patterns being the two most important factors for influencing waterbird diversity. Understanding the effects of climate and landscape may lead to more effective policies

Challenges in population monitoring: Bar‐tailed Godwits (Limosa lapponica) on the East Atlantic Flyway defy assumed population structure

Ibis, EarlyView.
Estimating and monitoring migratory bird populations involves significant challenges, even in the most well‐studied and easily‐counted species, and can be further complicated by long‐held but unverified assumptions and by shifting distributions in changing flyway conditions.

Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea home range and habitat use during the non-breeding season in Assam, India [PDF]

India is an important non-breeding ground for migratory waterfowl in the Central Asian Flyway. Millions of birds visit wedands across the country, yet information on their distribution, abundance, and use of resources is rudimentary at best.

Waterbird and wetland monitoring at the Emiquon Preserve: Annual Report 2014 [PDF]

, 2015
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) identified key ecological attributes (hereafter, KEAs) of specific biological characteristics or ecological processes that could indicate restoration success and trajectory at the Emiquon Preserve (hereafter Emiquon; The ...

Storm events will simultaneously reduce foraging opportunities and affect movements of Red Knots (Calidris canutus) in the intertidal Wadden Sea

Ibis, EarlyView.
Intertidal systems provide important wintering areas for migratory shorebirds, where they can both forage and roost. In the light of climate change, extreme wind speeds are predicted to occur more frequently in northwestern Europe and pose a threat to shorebirds.

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Littoral Waterbirds for Establishing Ecological Indicators of Mediterranean Coastal Lagoons

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Waterbirds are vital indicators of anthropogenic influence on the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons. Our study relates temporal waterbird data to key environmental gradients at catchment scale that have a structural or functional ...

Adaptive management of Ramsar wetlands [PDF]

The Macquarie Marshes are one of Australia’s iconic wetlands, recognised for their international importance, providing habitat for some of the continent’s more important waterbird breeding sites as well as complex and extensive flood-dependent vegetation

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment

Ibis, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.
