Drivers of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of waterbirds in urban wetlands. [PDF]

Curr Zool
Abstract Urban wetlands are considered as “habitat islands” within the urban matrix that contribute to species conservation. Waterbirds are sensitive pollution indicators in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and their diversity in urban wetlands reflects the response of wildlife to urbanization.

Impacts of reclamation and aquaculture on the wintering waterbird assemblage at a floodplain lakeshore based on multidimensional diversity

Global Ecology and Conservation
The floodplain lakeshores have pronounced hydrological and topographical gradients, high habitat heterogeneity, and abundant food sources, providing suitable habitats for wintering and stopping waterbirds.

Multi-scale factors revealed contrasting impacts on Waterbird composition and Beta diversity across wetlands in an Afrotropical landscape

Global Ecology and Conservation
Global loss and human-induced degradation of wetlands are presumed to impact waterbirds. To understand how human activities and habitat features drive waterbird species composition, there is need to understand beta-diversity and its components of ...

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

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 ...

Habitat, diversity, and abundance of waterbirds in lantebung mangrove ecotourism area, Makassar city

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract Waterbirds are a significant part of mangrove forests due to their ecological role in the ecosystem. However, land conversion, human disturbance, pollution, and other anthropogenic factors are continued to give pressure to the existence of waterbirds, especially in the urban mangrove area.

Avifaunal diversity and conservation status of waterbirds in Pillaimadam Lagoon, Palk Bay, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa
Avifaunal surveys are important for developing targeted conservation strategies for specific sites and species, especially in undocumented critical wintering grounds for shorebirds within the Central Asian Flyway. In this context, we present a first-time avifaunal checklist at the Pillaimadam Lagoon, Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu.

Waterbird Species Are Highly Sensitive to Wetland Traits: Simulation-Based Conservation Strategies for the Birds of the Sicilian Wetlands (Italy) [PDF]

Biology
In this study, we (a) formulated a general hypothesis about how wetland (functional and structural) traits influence avian diversity, (b) turned this hypothesis into a non-parametric Bayesian network, (c) disentangled the direct and indirect effects of ...

Satellite telemetry reveals complex mixed movement strategies in ibis and spoonbills of Australia: implications for water and wetland management [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Waterbird population and species diversity maintenance are important outcomes of wetland conservation management, but knowledge gaps regarding waterbird movements affect our ability to understand and predict waterbird responses to management at ...
