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

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.

Lower reclamation of coastal lagoon conserves higher waterbird assemblage phylogenetic diversity

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.

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023
Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...
