Stopovers comprise a significant proportion of the time that many birds spend migrating, and
researchers have long relied on these events to define and classify broader migratory …

Changes in demographic rates underpin changes in population size, and understanding
demographic rates can greatly aid the design and development of strategies to maintain …

Shorebirds (Charadriiformes) undergo rapid migrations with potential for long‐distance
dispersal (LDD) of plants. We studied the frequency of endozoochory by shorebirds in …

Edge effects occur when the matrix has adverse impacts on the patches of remnant habitat.
A widely explored example of this is the hypothesis of a higher predation pressure on bird …

Linking population trends to species' traits is informative for the detection of the most
important threatening factors and for assessing the effectiveness of conservation measures …

ABSTRACT Capsule: Across Britain, breeding Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata are less
numerous and have shown greater population declines in areas with more arable farming …

Large amounts of antibiotics from different sources have been released into coastal
environments, especially in high human-populated areas, but comprehensive studies of …

Migration patterns in birds vary in space and time. Spatial patterns include chain, leapfrog
and telescopic migration. Temporal patterns such as migration duration, number, and …

Shorebird declines are occurring worldwide but the causes are not fully understood. Recent
literature suggests that the deterioration of habitat quality at their non-breeding areas, mostly …

Birds must contend with an array of anthropogenic threats during their migratory journeys.
Many migrants are killed due to encounters with artificial light, introduced species …
