Is nest predator exclusion an effective strategy for enhancing bird populations?
Evidence suggests that nest predation is a serious problem for the conservation of bird
populations. Managers are, therefore, faced with decisions of whether to intervene to reduce …

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 …

Nesting density and reproductive success of piping plovers in response to storm‐and human‐created habitat changes
The threatened population of Atlantic Coast piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) has
increased under intensive management of predation and disturbance. However, the relative …

Breeding site fidelity is lower in polygamous shorebirds and male-biased in monogamous species
Sex-bias in breeding dispersal is considered the norm in many taxa, and the magnitude and
direction of such sex-bias is expected to correlate with the social mating system. We used …
