The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Impact of removing laver (Porphyra) farming racks on the distribution, diversity and foraging behavior of waterbirds in coastal wetlands in eastern China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionThe coastal wetlands in eastern China are important feeding and resting sites for migratory waterbirds. Intertidal aquaculture in this region has various effects on waterbird communities, yet research on the impact of coastal restoration on ...

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

Environmental factors influence both abundance and genetic diversity in a widespread bird species. [PDF]

, 2013
Genetic diversity is one of the key evolutionary variables that correlate with population size, being of critical importance for population viability and the persistence of species. Genetic diversity can also have important ecological consequences within

Relative abundance and diversity of waterbirds in a Persian Gulf mangrove forest, Iran

Tropical Zoology, 2012
Mangrove habitats are host to many waterbirds around the globe. However, the roles of mangrove habitat structures in association with variation in individuals and their community of waterbirds have not been examined in detail. The objective of this study was to determine the abundance, diversity and evenness of waterbirds in an Avicennia mangrove ...

Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea home range and habitat use during the non-breeding season in Assam, India [PDF]

India is an important non-breeding ground for migratory waterfowl in the Central Asian Flyway. Millions of birds visit wedands across the country, yet information on their distribution, abundance, and use of resources is rudimentary at best.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.
