Effects of hunting on waterbird numbers in Mediterranean coastal wetlands in France: the case of the Hérault department

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Waterfowl hunting plays a complex role in the conservation of waterbird populations. While hunting can provide conservation benefits, excessive or unregulated hunting may threaten waterbird populations, particularly for species with declining numbers or high sensitivity to human disturbances.

How do wintering waterbird communities respond to polder restoration in a Ramsar wetland of the Yangtze River Basin, China? A functional and phylogenetic perspective

Avian Research
Wetland restoration has been increasingly implemented to compensate for the substantial loss of natural wetlands, and consideration of multidimensional biodiversity is essential for evaluating how restoration affects the ecological functioning and ...

Population trends and community composition of migratory waterbirds in three emerging wetlands of global significance in southwestern Bengal, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2016
We studied the diversity, abundance and population trends in three flourishing wetlands of southern Bengal over 16 years.  These wetlands constituted a major shift from the present scenario of overall wetland deterioration, including monotonous declines ...

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Multi-scale factors revealed contrasting impacts on Waterbird composition and Beta diversity across wetlands in an Afrotropical landscape

Global Ecology and Conservation
Global loss and human-induced degradation of wetlands are presumed to impact waterbirds. To understand how human activities and habitat features drive waterbird species composition, there is need to understand beta-diversity and its components of ...

Behavioural responses of a gamebird to human encounters across the hunting season

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
We examined the behavioural adaptation of rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta in response to human encounters across the hunting season. We conducted disturbance experiments in two different parts of the species' range, in subarctic (Iceland) and in alpine (Italy) habitats.

Spatial scales matter in designing buffer zones for coastal protected areas along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway

Global Ecology and Conservation
Coastal protected areas are increasingly threatened by urbanization, posing significant risks to wetland biodiversity. Consequently, the recognition of buffer zones as essential for reducing anthropogenic impacts on protected areas has grown.

Comparative Analysis of Intestine Microbiota of Four Wild Waterbird Species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Waterbirds are ubiquitous and globally distributed. Yet, studies on wild waterbirds’ gut microbiota are still rare. Our aim was to explore and compare the gut microbial community composition of wild waterbird species. Four wild waterbird species that are

A Tóközi-berek (Zamárdi) madártani felmérése [PDF]

, 2015
Tóközi-berek (marsh) is located in Hungary at the southern shore of Lake Balaton, near Zamárdi. In this paper we present the faunistic results of ornithological surveys between 2007-2010 and 2012-2013.

Combining non‐invasive survey methods increases cumulative detection probability for breeding harlequin ducks Histrionicus histrionicus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The effective implementation of new technologies for wildlife population monitoring is limited by knowledge of factors that impact their efficacy. Population monitoring of harlequin ducks Histrionicus histrionicus on their breeding streams in Montana and Idaho in the Northern Rocky Mountains, has historically relied on ground‐based foot surveys (GBS ...
