Three decades of western sandpiper stopover dynamics during northward migration on the Pacific Coast of North America, 1992–2022

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Shorebirds typically spend more time fueling and refueling during migration than they spend in actual flight, and consequently their stopover ecology has important implications for fitness and conservation. We examined spatial variation and long‐term changes in stopover duration of radio‐tagged western sandpipers Calidris mauri over three decades on ...

Low Migratory Connectivity and Use of Multiple Non‐Breeding Sites in American Golden‐Plovers Breeding Across the Nearctic Tundra

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Many populations of migratory birds are currently declining. Understanding space use throughout the entire annual cycle, as well as migratory connectivity (i.e., geographic linkage of individuals and populations across different stages of the annual cycle), can improve our ability to identify factors driving population declines and ...

Reducing bias in shorebird nest survival rates across a large Arctic landscape

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 25-41, January 2026.
Reproductive success is a key demographic parameter that can have profound impacts on a species' population trend. Indeed, poor reproductive success has been suggested as a contributing factor to the declines observed in many species of birds, including Arctic‐breeding shorebirds.

Monitoring faunal responses to biodegradable oyster reef restoration materials with camera traps in a subtropical estuary

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Oyster reef restoration has become increasingly crucial due to global population declines. Intertidal oyster reefs provide essential foraging and loafing (resting) grounds to estuarine fauna. To reduce plastic pollution from traditional materials, biodegradable restoration materials have been introduced and are shown to support oyster recruitment ...

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

A novel hybrid beachgrass is invading U.S. Pacific Northwest dunes with potential ecosystem consequences

Ecosphere
Invasive plants formed via hybridization, especially those that modify the structure and function of their ecosystems, are of particular concern given the potential for hybrid vigor. In the U.S. Pacific Northwest, two invasive, dune‐building beachgrasses,
