Diversity and Conservation of Waterbirds in the Northern Avifaunal Region of Sri Lanka

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2017
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the waterbird diversity, distribution, and conservation status in the northern avifaunal region of Sri Lanka, which includes two of the four richest waterbird regions in Sri Lanka, namely Jaffna and Mannar. We compiled data from the annual waterbird censuses and monthly records of the Ceylon Bird Club from ...

Environmental drivers of metapopulation dynamics throughout the full annual cycle in a declining Arctic‐nesting migratory herbivore

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We provide a framework for extending commonly used integrated population models to a metapopulation framework for testing novel ecological hypotheses about how changing environmental conditions within and among subpopulations drive changes in animal abundance.

Population overlap and habitat segregation in wintering Black-tailed Godwits Limosa limosa [PDF]

, 2010
Distinct breeding populations of migratory species may overlap both spatially and temporally, but differ in patterns of habitat use. This has important implications for population monitoring and conservation.

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Littoral Waterbirds for Establishing Ecological Indicators of Mediterranean Coastal Lagoons

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Waterbirds are vital indicators of anthropogenic influence on the ecological status of Mediterranean coastal lagoons. Our study relates temporal waterbird data to key environmental gradients at catchment scale that have a structural or functional ...
