A Functional Flows Framework for the Terminal Great Salt Lake Basin: Can We Have Our Lake and Drink It Too?

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terminal basins provide unique aquatic environments that are often highly sensitive to streamflow contributions, making them a focal point for environmental water management. However, the water needs for terminal lake, wetland, and river ecosystems, and how they relate, remain a fundamental knowledge gap that constrains our ability to ...

Shallow sub-lakes are essential for sustaining the successful wintering of waterbirds in Poyang Lake, China

Avian Research
For migratory waterbirds, the quality of wintering habitat is related to spring migration and successful breeding in the next year. The availability of food resources in the habitat is critical and varies within water levels.

Protected Species: Colonial Waterbirds

, 2005
This brochure gives information about 'Colonial waterbirds', which refers to different bird species that share two traits: (1) they gather in large groups/colonies during the nesting season and (2) they feed almost exclusively from the water.

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

Ecosystem services provided by waterbirds [PDF]

, 2014
Ecosystem services are ecosystem processes that directly or indirectly benefit human well-being. There has been much recent literature identifying different services and the communities and species that provide them.

Fusion or Confusion? Assessing the Impact of Visible‐Thermal Image Fusion for Automated Wildlife Detection

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the performances of synchronous aerial visible (VIS) and thermal infrared (TIR) imagery for detecting great blue heron (Ardea herodias) nests and individuals using a YOLO11n model. VIS and TIR images were automatically aligned using deep learning, and both early and late fusion approaches were tested.

Deteriorating habitat suitability and connectivity of waterbirds in the Bohai Sea Rim: Consequences of land use transformation

Global Ecology and Conservation
Wetlands in the Bohai Sea Rim play an indispensable role in maintaining the stability of waterbird populations on the East Asian-Australian flyway. However, motivated by economic development and urban expansion, coastal wetlands in this region have been ...

Countrywide screening of spatiotemporal overlap between coastal and marine recreation and waterbirds in Denmark

, 2021
Coastal zones are important for recreational activities and waterbirds. However, recreational activities may have negative implications for birdlife, which calls for balancing of both types of use by integrated coastal and marine planning and management.

Remote Sensing‐Based Identification of Habitat Loss for Herbivorous Waterbirds Driven by Wetland Inundation Alterations

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We present a deep learning framework integrating remote sensing and SHAP interpretation to map 22‐year habitat dynamics of herbivorous waterbirds in Dongting Lake. Results show nearly 50% habitat loss, driven primarily by hydrological recession timing rather than static inundation extent.
