The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

eDNA enhances detection efficiency but reveals lower waterbird diversity: A comparison with point counting method

Avian Research
Environmental DNA (eDNA) methods have emerged as a promising tool for studying a broad spectrum of biological taxa. However, metabarcoding studies of avian biodiversity using eDNA have received little attention.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

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

Population trends, threats, and conservation recommendations for waterbirds in China

Avian Research, 2018
Background China is one of the countries with abundant waterbird diversity. Over the past decades, China’s waterbirds have suffered increasing threats from direct and indirect human activities.

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Continental‐wide prioritization of protected areas to address global and habitat‐specific goals for avian biodiversity conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Nations and European Union have set ambitious conservation goals to halt and reverse declines in biodiversity by protecting 30% of land and sea areas by 2030. Effective conservation planning requires evidence‐based spatial prioritization to maximize the coverage of species within designated protected areas.

A landscape framework for human‐elephant coexistence

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The landscape coexistence framework is a transferable structure based on three phases: building knowledge, constructing the framework, and collaborative planning. These phases guide the achievements of three goals: supporting elephants, supporting villagers, and differentiating their respective territories.
