Areas of high diversity for the world’s inland-breeding waterbirds
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2013 Waterbirds are a globally-distributed, species-rich group of birds that are critically dependent upon wetland habitats. They can be used as ecosystem sentinels for wetlands, which as well as providing ecosystem services and functions essential to humans, are important habitats for a wide range of plant and animal taxa.

Diversity, 2020 Human activity is the major factor driving the wetland degradation in shallow lakes. Human exploitation of lake wetlands alters the habitats of wintering waterbirds, and, in turn, waterbird diversity in the shallow lakes.

Diversity and Distribution of Waterbirds across Wetlands of Eastern Uganda
Advances in Research, 2020 Explaining patterns of diversity, and abundance across sites is a central aim of community ecology. Avian communities have been the focus of many studies on species diversity. To be able to explain patterns of waterbirds in wetlands of eastern Uganda, we conducted a rapid assessment in 48 wetlands (38 swamps, two rice paddies and eight lakes) using ...

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 ...
