Factors affecting Piping Plover chick survival in different brood-rearing habitats
JP Loegering, JD Fraser - The Journal of wildlife management, 1995 - JSTOR
The decline of piping plover (Charadrius melodus) populations and subsequent listing as a
threatened species has been attributed, in part, to low chick survival. During 1988-90, we …
