Snowy Plover Nest Site Selection, Spatial Patterning, and Temperatures in the Southern High Plains of Texas [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2012
Snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus) populations have declined throughout their range, in part because of habitat degradation and poor nest success, making information regarding regionally specific nest site selection and spatial patterns important when ...

Datasets of Bird Species Composition in a Land Reclamation Area of Lake Kahokugata, Central Japan, in Relation to Various Farmland Types. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present a dataset describing bird assemblages in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape surrounding Lake Kahokugata, located in a snow‐rich region on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan. Our data is useful in providing insights into how landscape heterogeneity, cropland composition, and seasonal dynamics influence bird diversity in snowy ...

Population Viability Analysis of the Western Snowy Plover.

, 2023
A key component to adaptive management of threatened and endangered species is periodic updating of recovery goals and management priorities after implementation of previous management strategies. This report describes an updated metapopulation viability analysis for the distinct population segment (DPS) of western snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus ...

Climate-related drivers of migratory bird health in the south-central USA. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Migratory birds are species of concern that play important ecological roles while also supporting recreational opportunities for the hunting and birdwatching public. Direct and indirect effects of climate variability, extremes, and change on migratory bird health manifest at the individual, population, species, and community levels.

2021 Final Report on the Western Snowy Plover [PDF]

, 2022
In 2021, we continued with the monitoring of the Western Snowy Plover (WSP) population at Coal OilPoint Reserve as in previous years. The number of breeding adults this year (56) was higher than theaverage (37) for our site. The wintering population size (175) was just over the average (167).

High fidelity: extra-pair fertilisations in eight Charadrius plover species are not associated with parental relatedness or social mating system [PDF]

, 2017
Extra-pair paternity is a common reproductive strategy in many bird species. However, it remains unclear why extra-pair paternity occurs and why it varies among species and populations.

Assessing Accuracy of Sampling Schemes to Estimate Western Snowy Plover Reproductive Success [PDF]

Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management, 2020
AbstractLike many wildlife species of management concern, the western snowy plover Charadrius nivosus nivosus is the subject of intensive population monitoring. However, intensive monitoring of reproductive success for this shorebird is time-consuming, financially costly, and potentially disruptive to the birds of interest.

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes: context‐dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Ecosphere, 2017
Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem‐based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co‐occurring ESs.
