Waterbird community composition, abundance, and diversity along an urban gradient

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2018
Abstract Urban riparian corridors have the capacity to maintain high levels of bird abundance and biodiversity. How riparian corridors in cities are used by waterbirds has received relatively little focus in urban bird studies. The principal objective of our study was to determine how habitat and landscape elements affect waterbird biodiversity in an

Unraveling the impact of drought on waterbird community assembly and conservation strategies

Journal of Environmental Management
Drought-induced changes in lakes and wetlands, crucial habitats for migratory waterbirds, can greatly affect their foraging and habitat utilization. These changes lead to a decline in waterbird species richness and may cause shifts in community assembly from phylogenetic and functional trait perspectives.

Whole‐community facilitation by beaver: ecosystem engineer increases waterbird diversity

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2014
ABSTRACTWetlands are rich in biodiversity, but globally threatened. After a long period of regional extirpation, beavers have recently returned to many European areas and are now restoring wetlands. The beaver is remarkable regarding the large impacts it has not only on individual species but on entire communities and ecosystems.

A general overview of waterbird communities in Cuba

Journal of Caribbean Ornithology, 2016
Abstract: The Cuban archipelago constitutes a territory of great importance for the development and maintenance of waterbird populations, both residents and migrants, due to Cuba’s wide variety of wetlands and its privileged geographical situation.

Effect of Beach Replenishment Projects on Waterbird and Shorebird Communities

Journal of Coastal Research, 2007
Abstract In an effort to identify the potential effects of beach replenishment projects on waterbird and shorebird communities, avian abundance, species richness, and behavior were monitored at three transects before and after beach replenishment. The length of the study was 2 years with weekly surveys for most of the year.

Conservation implications of flooding rice fields on winter waterbird communities

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2003
Abstract The effects of flooding harvested rice fields on waterbird communities were studied during winter. Variation in the number of waterbird species, overall densities of all waterbirds, wading birds, waterfowl, and shorebirds, and a measure of conservation value that weighted species according to their relative abundance and population trends ...

Repercussions of the Abandonment of Mediterranean Saltpans on Waterbird Communities

Waterbirds, 2002
Abstract The richness and abundance of waterbird species were compared in active and abandoned saltpans in southeastern Spain. The effects of traditional methods of salt extraction in Mediterranean wetlands on the avian community were evaluated, as well as the effects of the abandonment of coastal salinas in Europe due to their present low ...

Characterization of the waterbird communities wintering in Tunisian coastal lagoons

Hydrobiologia, 2012
This article aims at studying wintering waterbirds in Tunisian coastal lagoons in order to support effective conservation measures. Species number and abundance of wintering waterbirds were assessed in January, each year from 2002 to 2007, in 10 lagoon sites belonging to four different lagoon systems.

Classification of Waterbird Communities in South-Eastern Australia

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 1985
The extent to which coincidence in distribution of waterbird species deviates from that expected by chance was examined. Waterbirds form five communities and several subcommunities (associations). Comparisons of localities that have many indicator species of a certain community thus reveal habitat characteristics that may explain the occurrence of many
