Successful conservation of global waterbird populations depends on effective governance [PDF]

Nature, 2017
Understanding global patterns of biodiversity change is crucial for conservation research, policies and practices. However, the lack of systematically collected data at a global level has limited our understanding of biodiversity changes and their local-scale drivers in most ecosystems. We address this challenge by focusing on wetlands, which are among

Response of different waterbird guilds to landscape changes along the yellow sea coast: A case study

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The health of China’s coastal wetlands plays an important role in global bird biodiversity. However, land reclamation, the spread of invasive species, and over-harvesting have altered the landscape of coastal wetland, thus bringing cascade effects on ...

REVIEW: Perspectives on wastewater treatment wetlands and waterbird conservation [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2010
Summary 1. With the global loss of natural wetlands, waterbirds have become increasingly dependent on alternative and artificial habitats, but the use of such wetlands by waterbirds is typically opportunistic and little consideration has been given to the potential implications for water treatment or waterbird conservation objectives. 2.

Waterbird diversity and spatial distribution across China: Patterns and conservation strategies

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding regional patterns of waterbird distribution and community assembly is crucial for effective conservation in China. However, comprehensive nationwide analyses of waterbird spatial distribution remain limited.

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.

A rapid increase of large-sized waterfowl does not explain the population declines of small-sized waterbird at their breeding sites

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Certain species experience rapid population increases in human-modified and -affected environments. Conservation actions and increased wintertime food availability have led to a population increase of several large herbivorous waterbird species.
