Loss and degradation of wetlands has occurred worldwide, impacting ecosystems and
contributing to the decline of waterbirds, including shorebirds that occur along the heavily …

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 …

Natural coastal wetlands are important habitats for shorebirds while flooded agricultural
croplands, may also be useful habitats. Shorebirds in East Asia utilize an often highly …

Behavioural variation within a species is usually explained as the consequence of individual
variation in physiology. However, new evidence suggests that the arrow of causality may …

Conservation of critical habitats for shorebirds (Charadriiformes: Charadrii), usually requires
spatially explicit identification of each habitat. Most non-breeding shorebirds depend on two …

Migrant shorebirds operate within a series of landscapes and must adjust their daily
activities to achieve seasonal time and energy objectives. Night roosts are essential …

Many shorebirds exhibit within‐and among‐year site fidelity during their annual cycle. Little
is known, however, about the migration ecology of Red Knots (Calidris canutus) that migrate …

Communal roosting is a taxonomically widespread phenomenon, with considerable
variation in patterns of roost dynamics. Some organisms roost together in different locations …

An animal's ability to acquire and assimilate energy is key to its fitness and survival. Dietary
assessment of an organism is prerequisite to understanding its ability to achieve daily …

Effective shorebird conservation requires a greater understanding of use and availability of
high-tide roosts in coastal non-breeding areas. In this paper, we explore 1) variation in use …
