Sea-level rise causes shorebird population collapse before habitats drown
Sea-level rise will lead to widespread habitat loss if warming exceeds 2° C, threatening
coastal wildlife globally. Reductions in coastal habitat quality are also expected but their …

Measuring habitat quality for waterbirds: A review
Quantifying habitat quality is dependent on measuring a site's relative contribution to
population growth rate. This is challenging for studies of waterbirds, whose high mobility can …

The hidden cost of disturbance: Eurasian Oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) avoid a disturbed roost site during the tourist season
HJ van der Kolk, BJ Ens, K Oosterbeek, E Jongejans… - Ibis, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Disturbance may impact individual birds and ultimately bird populations. If animals avoid
disturbed sites this may prevent them from being disturbed directly but may also negatively …

Internal and maternal distribution of persistent organic pollutants in sea turtle tissues: A meta-analysis
We aimed to identify patterns in the internal distribution of persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) and assess contributing factors using sea turtles and their offspring as a case study …

Horizontal prey distribution determines the foraging performance of short‐and long‐billed waders in virtual resource landscapes
E Deboelpaep, S Pint, N Koedam, T Van der Stocken… - Ibis, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
When waders gather in mixed‐species flocks to feed on benthic prey, differences in
morphological traits, foraging strategies and prey selection may allow different species to …

Nocturnal foraging lifts time constraints in winter for migratory geese but hardly speeds up fueling
Climate warming advances the optimal timing of breeding for many animals. For migrants to
start breeding earlier, a concurrent advancement of migration is required, including …

Spatiotemporal variation in disturbance impacts derived from simultaneous tracking of aircraft and shorebirds
HJ van der Kolk, AM Allen, BJ Ens… - Journal of Applied …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Assessing the impacts of disturbance over large areas and long time periods is crucial for
nature management, but also challenging since impacts depend on both wildlife responses …
