Behavioral aspects of waterbirds [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Abstract Estuaries are used by waterbirds as foraging, resting and nesting sites, serving also as shelter for migratory birds. The dynamics of this avifauna in an aquatic environment may be associated with the differences of time of day, tide height, temperature, wind speed and use of the site by different species.

Influence of anthropogenic factors on the waterbirds in Trans-Himalayan wetlands

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Understanding waterbird abundance and distribution in relation to environmental and anthropogenic factors can contribute to effective waterbird management in high altitude wetlands, although it remains a logistical challenge due to the harsh climate ...

Winter coexistence in herbivorous waterbirds: Niche differentiation in a floodplain, Poyang Lake, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The classical niche theory supports the idea that stable coexistence requires ecological differences between closely related species. However, information on waterbirds coexistence in the entirely landlocked freshwater system of Poyang Lake is not well ...

Impact of water level on spring bird assemblages in a natural river valley in central Europe

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2023
Water level appears to be crucial for waterbirds, especially in the changeable conditions prevailing in river valleys. One of the best preserved Central European rivers is the Biebrza in north-eastern Poland, which seasonally overflows in spring ...

Size matters: the value of small populations for wintering waterbirds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Protecting systematically selected areas of land is a major step towards biodiversity conservation worldwide. Indeed, the identification and designation of protected areas more often than not forms a core component of both national and international ...

Seasonal variation in species richness and abundance of waterbirds in Mole National Park, Ghana: Implication for conservation and ecotourism

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2018
Mole National Park is the largest and the oldest national park in Ghana and an important bird area, yet its waterbird fauna is poorly documented because it is situated in the northern ecological zone far away from the coast of Ghana.

Scenario analysis with a simulation model of the effect of waterbirds on phosphorus dynamics of a shallow freshwater ecosystem

open access: yesEnvironmental Challenges, 2022
Many freshwater systems throughout the world support a high number of waterbird congregations. Previous works suggest waterbirds have the potential to deposit a considerable amount of nutrients into the waterbody that may cause eutrophication.

Neglected parasite reservoirs in wetlands: Prevalence and diversity of avian haemosporidians in waterbird communities in Northeast China

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
The diversity of waterbirds is threatened, and haemosporidian parasite infection is considered one of the most important causative factors. However, to date, only a few studies focusing on specific parasite species have been carried out, which cannot ...
