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 ...

Gravel pits support waterbird diversity in an urban landscape [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2009 We assessed the benefit of 11 gravel pits for the settlement of waterbird communities in an urbanized area lacking natural wetlands. Gravel pits captured 57% of the regional species pool of aquatic birds. We identified 39 species, among which five were regionally rare. We used the Self-Organizing Map algorithm to calculate the probabilities of presence

Avian Research, 2017 Background Waterbirds are globally declining as a result of habitat loss, alteration or degradation. Fishing activities may affect waterbird distribution, abundance and diversity, and traditional fishing activities often enhance waterbird abundance.

Causality between abundance and diversity is weak for wintering migratory waterbirds [PDF]
Freshwater Biology, 2015 Summary The species–area relationship, which is closely linked with the more general species‐energy theory, is one of the most well‐known patterns in geographical ecology, but the underlying causes remain contentious. The more individuals hypothesis (MIH) articulates a causal path from resource availability to population abundance to species ...

Artificial wetlands as alternative habitat for a wide range of waterbird species
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Natural wetlands are at the cutting edge of protection concerns, as they harbor a greater range of waterbird assemblages than artificial wetlands. However, more than 50.0% of natural wetland areas and more than 17.0% of waterbird species have become ...
