A national assessment of waterbird hunting in coastal wetlands of Suriname, South America

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We examined waterbird harvest levels in Suriname using hunter survey data from 2006 and 2016. The analysis showed a significant decline in the average harvest per hunter over the decade, except for blue‐winged teal and migratory shorebirds. However, the sustainability of current harvest levels remains uncertain, underscoring the need for a national ...

Linking eBird data with high spatiotemporal remote sensing products to estimate occupancy of bird populations across the island of Ireland

Ibis, EarlyView.
The vast increase in biodiversity data generated through citizen science initiatives, alongside a growing suite of remote sensing products and advanced modelling tools, has opened new avenues for rapidly, accurately and efficiently monitoring species trends to inform conservation, management and policy.

Phylogenetic relatedness of co‐occurring waterbird communities: a test of Darwin's competition‐relatedness hypothesis

Journal of Avian Biology, 2017
The competition–relatedness hypothesis of Darwin states that competition is greater among species that are phylogenetically closely‐related, and such species will tend to appear in separate communities (i.e. the species within communities will be phylogenetically overdispersed).

The influence of a cooling water system on waterbird habitat use in a coastal environment

Ibis, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of a cooling water system at a nuclear power plant in northern Europe on coastal waterbird habitat use. In winter, the cooling water system provided preferential areas for waterbirds with warm productive waters, and, more importantly, with ice‐free areas.

A wintering waterbird community in an artificial wetland: Laguna de Meco [PDF]

, 2017
[EN]: The progressive loss of natural wetlands throughout Europe has led to the use of human infrastructures such as gravel pits, irrigation ponds and reservoirs by waterbirds as an alternative habitat. In Central Spain, the presence of man-made wetlands

Intra-annual compositions and diversity variations of waterbird communities in China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Waterbirds are often used as indicators of wetland biodiversity and ecosystem health due to their sensitivity to environmental changes. However, most studies have focused on long-term variations of waterbird communities, while the intra-annual changes have rarely been investigated.

Exploring the exploration: implications of leaving or remaining at the natal site during the early stages of independence in a partially migratory bird

Ibis, EarlyView.
Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.

Connectivity between breeding sites, wintering areas, and migration routes in Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) breeding in the Western Palaearctic

Ibis, EarlyView.
Detailed knowledge about bird migration patterns can enhance our understanding of the evolution of migration and temporal changes in space use throughout the annual cycle. Additionally, as many migratory bird species are experiencing population declines, understanding the connectivity between their spatial distributions during breeding, migration and ...
