2020 Final Report on the Western Snowy Plover [PDF]
, 2021 In 2020, we continued with the monitoring of the Western Snowy Plover (WSP) population at Coal Oil Point Reserve as in previous years. The number of breeding adults this year (51) was higher than the average (36) for our site. The wintering population size (34) was the lowest on record since monitoring began at COPR in 2001. This year, one fifth of all

Evaluating the efficacy of carbachol at reducing corvid predation on artificial nests
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Nest predation often limits recovery of threatened and endangered birds, especially ground‐nesting species. Accordingly, a variety of techniques are used to reduce the impact of nest predation on listed species.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Anthropogenic Renourishment Feedback on Shorebirds: a Multispecies Bayesian Perspective [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper the realized niche of the Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), a primarily resident Florida shorebird, is described as a function of the scenopoetic and bionomic variables at the nest-, landscape-, and regional-scale.

PHILOPATRY AND NATAL DISPERSAL OF THE WESTERN SNOWY PLOVER
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2007 Abstract Conservation of threatened species requires knowledge of individual movements within and among spatially distinct subpopulations. We quantified philopatry, local dispersal, and number of breeding sites used by 62 Western Snowy Plovers (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) that were marked as chicks and returned to a breeding area in coastal ...

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.
