Traditional fishing activities enhance the abundance of selected waterbird species in a wetland in India [PDF]

Avian Research, 2017
Background Waterbirds are globally declining as a result of habitat loss, alteration or degradation. Fishing activities may affect waterbird distribution, abundance and diversity, and traditional fishing activities often enhance waterbird abundance.

Impact of Extreme Drought on Waterbird Abundance: A Case Study Based on the Core Nature Reserve and Surrounding Wetlands [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Wetlands, highly biodiverse yet fragile ecosystems, play vital roles in sustaining waterbird survival and breeding. This study evaluated the impacts of extreme drought on waterbird populations in Dongting Lake and surrounding wetlands by analyzing land ...

Waterbird Diversity Patterns Under Varied Hydrological Regimes in Dongting Lake and Surrounding Lakes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Globally, climate and human‐induced environmental changes affect the populations and distributions of most organisms. This is particularly true for migratory birds, which change habitats throughout the annual cycle.

The avifauna of Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu along the Southeast coast of India: waterbird assessments and conservation implications across key sanctuaries and Ramsar sites [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Wetlands, globally, face significant threats from human activities, and waterbirds, as key indicators of wetland health, are essential to maintaining ecological balance. Any long-term conservation measures should prioritize coordinated habitat

Imperiled Great Basin terminal lakes: Synthesizing ecological and hydrological science gaps and research needs for waterbird conservation [PDF]

Bioscience
Terminal lakes are declining globally because of human water demands, drought, and climate change. Through literature synthesis and feedback from the resource and conservation community, we review the state of research for terminal lakes in the Great ...

Lower reclamation of coastal lagoon conserves higher waterbird assemblage phylogenetic diversity [PDF]

Global Ecology and Conservation
Natural habitat loss caused by wetland reclamation is one of the most important causation for waterbird decline worldwide. Measurements of biodiversity loss always relied on the species and abundance reduce initially.

Functional diversity dynamics of waterbird communities driven by water levels at Shengjin Lake, a small river‐connected shallow lake in the middle and lower Yangtze River floodplain [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Gate‐controlled activities in lakes can directly or indirectly influence the assembly of waterbird communities. Shengjin Lake, a Ramsar site, is a typical river‐connected and gate‐controlled shallow lake in the lower and middle Yangtze River floodplain ...
