Impacts of anthropogenic activities and habitat degradation on breeding waterbirds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigated the effects of threats on breeding waterbirds in the Gediz Delta, Turkey. Breeding Bird Surveys were conducted in 2002 and 2006. The survey area comprised 305 UTM grids of 1 x 1 km(2).

Waterbird nest survival derived from drone surveys

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology
Drone surveys provide accurate estimates of nest abundance and survival for ground-nesting waterbird species, but drones have not been used to estimate survival for waterbirds nesting in a canopied swamp habitat. We compared nest survival of Snowy Egret (

A Study on the Status of Waterbirds in the Siheung Gaetgol Wetland (2020-2024) [PDF]

open access: yesGeo Data
Long-term monitoring data are essential for understanding the spatial and temporal variations of waterbird communities, particularly within rapidly changing urban wetland ecosystems.

Exploring sources of uncertainty in the estimate of waterfowl harvest in the United Kingdom

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
There is an urgent need to gather data on harvest rates of waterbirds in Europe to assess the sustainability of hunting. Estimates of total waterbird harvest in the United Kingdom (UK) and the relative harvest of different huntable species come from two separate surveys, the Value of Shooting (PACEC 2014) and National Gamebag Census (NGC), and these ...

Habitat Utilisation of Waterbirds in and around Maduru Oya Reservoir [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Wetlands are important bird habitats and waterbirds use them for feeding, resting, breeding and other social interactions. This study was conducted to determine the most important habitat types utilized by waterbirds to exhibit different behaviors, in ...

Impact of Distinct Management Regimes on Wintering Waterbird Communities in China’s Coal Mining Subsidence Wetlands

open access: yesDiversity
Natural wetland loss constitutes a primary threat to waterbirds worldwide, increasingly forcing them to rely on expanding artificial wetlands. Extensive underground coal mining across the North China Plain has created numerous subsidence wetlands, which ...

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Availability bias and responsive movement during ground‐based wildlife surveys revealed by concurrent thermal drone surveys

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Methods to estimate abundance from unmarked populations of animals are widely used because of their efficiency and presumed accuracy. These methods account for imperfect detection by comparing observed data against the assumed distribution of the entire population.

Diversity of Waterbirds in the Sebuku Strait Kotabaru, South Kalimantan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This research is to determine the diversity of waterbirds in the Sebuku Strait (Pulau Laut Timur and Pulau Sebuku), Kotabaru, South Kalimantan. Communities of waterbirds identified in the mangrove forest (HM); rice paddies and ponds (Sw-Ta); wetlands and

Using Harvest Data to Assess Factors Influencing Regional Population Declines of Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) 利用捕获数据评估影响麝鼠 (Ondatra zibethicus) 区域种群数量下降的相关因素

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the
