Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020 Waterbirds are often used as indicators of ecosystem function across broad spatial and temporal scales. Resolving which species are declining and the ecological characteristics they have in common can offer insights into ecosystem changes and their ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Novel ecosystems, where environmental conditions have been fundamentally altered from a historic norm, require nontraditional approaches to restoration. Suisun Marsh, located within California's San Francisco Estuary (SFE), is a novel, brackish water wetland complex, where managers have begun restoring tidal connectivity to ...

Long-term Trends in Population and Community Measures of Colonial-nesting Waterbirds in Galveston Bay Estuary [PDF]
, 1998 We examined diversity measures of the colonial-nesting waterbird community in Galveston Bay Estuary from 1973-1990 to determine if trends were apparent at three levels of ecological organization (i.e., community assemblage, and population), each ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is widely used to recover ecosystem function in modified estuaries, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly wildlife communities respond. Early trajectories are central to evaluating restoration success, guiding adaptive management, and building ecosystem resilience in engineered landscapes. Marsh birds

Spatial Patterns for the Distribution of Winter Waterbirds in the Aquaculture Ponds of Chongming Dongtan, Shanghai [PDF]
, 2008 The spatial utility pattern of birds reflects their selection of habitats. Based on field surveys, spatial statistics and landscape pattern analyses, we investigated the distribution pattern of winter waterbirds in the aquaculture ponds of Chongming ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Over 44% of European lakes fail to meet ecological quality standards, prompting substantial investment in lake restoration to achieve good ecological status. Unfortunately, effects are often short‐lived due to persistent internal phosphorus (P) loading and strong cyprinid‐driven bottom‐up control, which limits water quality ...

Managing Wetlands for Waterbirds on a Coastal Floodplain of New South Wales, Australia [PDF]
, 2011 Key to the conservation of waterbirds on coastal floodplains in Australia is improved management of their wetland habitats. Waterbirds and wetlands of the Clarence River floodplain, in north-east New South Wales, were studied from 2005 to 2007 to gather ...
