Abstract Migratory birds depend on a suite of sites across their annual cycles, making them vulnerable to wide variety anthropogenic pressures. Current area‐based conservation measures have been found inadequate safeguard migratory birds, in part due lack consideration for the connectivity between mediated by movements individuals. To address this issue, we develop network analysis integrating different types individual movement data shorebird, Black‐tailed Godwit ( Limosa limosa ), East...
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a core component of conservation policy and practice. However, many species for which they designated highly mobile, may move among sites within beyond PA boundaries. Environmental impacts on those boundaries could thus impact the PA's protected populations, with risk adversely affecting its objectives. Conservationists therefore urgently need tools to assess PAs their populations developments We present framework using network analysis observations marked...
Advancing breeding phenology is a commonly-observed response to climate warming among bird species, potentially in shifts of key resources. However, for migratory birds at high latitudes, their capacity breed earlier may be constrained by the time available between arrival on grounds and nesting, especially later-arriving individuals. This entail consequences productivity, as early laying often linked higher success, particularly such seasonal environments. We investigated how timing...
Birds are a frequently chosen group for biodiversity monitoring as they comparatively straightforward and inexpensive to sample often perform well ecological indicators. Two commonly used techniques tropical forest bird communities point counts mist nets. General strengths weaknesses of these have been well-defined; however little research has examined how their effectiveness is mediated by the ecology habitats. We examine overall performance methodologies differs between two widely...
Capsule Wing length and age independently predicted spring arrival timing in a long-distance migratory warbler, but there was no association with mass or tarsus length.Aims To test range of biometric features other measures fitness for their importance determining patterns landbird, to investigate why these may be important.Methods Fifty-one males known dates were caught key biometrics measured at breeding sites across Norfolk, UK, during April May 2012. Blood samples also taken order...
The islands of the Wallacean biodiversity hotspot support diverse and highly endemic bird communities, yet remain ornithologically poorly studied. There is a particular paucity data regarding breeding biology for region's birds. Here, we help to address this research gap by collating observations evidence made during nearly 20 years field work between 1999 2018 in south-east Sulawesi its offshore islands. Data were collected April September, with special focus on July August, which dry...
Electronic tracking has enabled rapid advances in knowledge of the movement behaviour and habitat use shorebirds (Charadriiformes), is thus making a growing contribution to their conservation. However, developing useful coherent global strategy for these taxa requires an overview current availability data how it varies along regional ecological lines. To this end we undertook comprehensive review published shorebird studies. We reviewed 353 scientific publications covering 73 species from...
In wintering shorebird communities, interspecific niche segregation can occur by differences in diet, behavior, and morphology. The Lagoa do Peixe National Park (LPNP) is a coastal wetland complex with lagoons sandy beaches Southern Brazil, providing an environment high prey availability where mixed-species foraging flocks of the Sanderling Calidris alba White-rumped Sandpiper fuscicollis occur. We counted all individuals observed higher proportion Sanderlings than Sandpipers intertidal...
The detrimental effects of nest ectoparasites on breeding birds have been well documented, but interactions between birds' parasites and their environment are less understood. Saltmarsh Sparrow, Ammodramus caudacutus is a ground-nesting bird endemic to tidal wetlands in the eastern USA, where majority nests lost flooding. This study examined evidence that Sparrows face trade-off flood-risk ectoparasite exposure nest-site selection initiation. We monitored nesting attempts during season,...
The combination of optics and microfluidics into optofluidic systems has provided a means creating portable integrated platforms for performing fluorescence emission analyses in fieldable systems. We present here the design photonic crystal transducer highly sensitive selective fluorescence-based biomolecule detection using reduced-size lattice nanocavity tuned resonance at wavelengths. This novel approach to biosensing is based upon defect structures that are engineered act as waveguides,...
