ABSTRACT For birds breeding in the Arctic, nest success is affected by timing of initiation, which partially determined local conditions such as snow cover. However, during non‐breeding season can carry over to affect breeding. We used tracking and data from 248 individuals 8 species subspecies Arctic‐breeding shorebirds estimate how initiation related like snowmelt phenology versus prior conditions, measured speed migration. Using path analysis, our global model showed that have similar...
Abstract The largest aggregation of spawning American horseshoe crabs in the world occurs Delaware Bay and supports one concentrations shorebirds western hemisphere where birds feed on crab eggs during migration. Unregulated harvest 1990s is associated with decline shorebird populations using bay, but corresponding baseline information egg food supply that supported peak has been lacking. Past current measurements bay indicate abundance 1980s was an order magnitude greater (x̄ = 156,600/m 2...
Migratory shorebirds are currently at significant risk, with populations of multiple species dropping globally, often due to habitat disruption and loss. The coast northern Brazil, along the states Pará Maranhão, encompasses one broadest expanses shorebird overwintering for many in Atlantic Americas Flyway. Delineating how current management protects is an important first step identifying gaps protections that then need be prioritized. Different frameworks conservation decision-making, such...

Many species of shorebirds migrate long distances from their overwintering grounds in the southern hemisphere to breeding northern hemisphere. The coastal intertidal zone, consisting sand and mud flats exposed at low tide covered high tide, is heavily used as a migratory stopover or habitat. Understanding spatial distribution sediment types these sites critical step for understanding habitat use by shorebird species. Due importance imperiled western Atlantic subpopulation shorebird, red knot...
Summary During their northward migration, Red Knots Calidris canutus rufa stop at the Lagoa do Peixe National Park in extreme south of Brazil to build up fat reserves for journey Canadian breeding grounds. We tracked five with PinPoint Argos-75 GPS transmitters investigate differences migration strategies from this stopover. Tracked birds used two different routes: Central route and Brazilian Atlantic Coast route. One bird flew 8,300 km straight Delaware Bay (USA). Another stopped Maranhão...
Many studies have demonstrated that some of the activities people can disturb nesting and foraging birds, particularly along coasts estuaries. Some managers respond to human disturbance sensitive species by closing beaches, but most stewards monitor restrict access beaches or portions beaches. Yet little is known about type visitor their perceptions beach stewards. This paper explores general acceptance role in conservation red knots (Calidris canutus rufa), other shorebirds, horseshoe crabs...
