Wetlands, as core habitats for supporting waterbird diversity, provide a variety of ecosystem services through diverse ecosystem functioning. Wetland degradation and wetland-habitat loss undermine the relationship between biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF), affecting the diversity of habitats and waterbirds.

Unraveling the impact of drought on waterbird community assembly and conservation strategies
Journal of Environmental ManagementDrought-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.

Conservation uses of ringing data: Flyway networks for waterbirds
Ringing & Migration, 1999Migratory waterbirds have long been a major focus of research and conservation interest, for their spectacular migrations and because many are, or have been, quarry species. A good understanding of how waterbirds use the networks of sites on their flyways is essential for developing sustainable management of populations and to meet obligations under ...

Movements of waterbirds within Africa and their conservation implications
Ostrich, 2007Waterbirds in Africa have developed diverse strategies to exploit the wide variety of African wetlands. Whilst some species are largely sedentary, especially those in relatively static tropical climates, most demonstrate movements in response to changing seasons and environmental conditions. The onset of rain is an important trigger for migration: some

Conservation of waterbirds in Australia
Pacific Conservation Biology, 2013There are 93 species of Australian waterbirds, predominantly dependent on freshwater, inland saline or estuarine ecosystems. They include diverse species predominantly from six major groups: grebes (Podicipediformes); ducks, geese and swans (Anseriformes); pelicans and cormorants (Pelecaniformes); egrets, ibises, spoonbills (Ciconniiformes); cranes ...

Conserving Wetlands for Migratory Waterbirds in South Asia
2017Wetlands are highly productive ecosystems and provide many crucial services. Most waterbird species depend on wetlands throughout their life cycle. The Central Asian Flyway covers a large continental area of Eurasia bounded by the Arctic and Indian Oceans, connecting breeding grounds in Siberia and temperate Eurasia with nonbreeding grounds in West and

If waterbirds are nocturnal are we conserving the right habitats?
Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2016Waterbirds are key indicators of wetland health and recent declines in their abundance have renewed focus on conservation of their habitats in Australia. Yet conservation efforts have mostly ignored the identification of habitats used at night. In this study we assessed three common species, Grey Teal (Anas gracilis), Chestnut Teal (Anas castanea) and ...
