Global change threats to migrant shorebirds
(Wader Study Group, 2013-12)
There is growing concern about the effects global change, natural and anthropic, on the environment and organisms. Migratory shorebirds are very sensitive to these changes being reflected at both individual and population ...
Perpetuation of avian influenza in the Americas: Examining the role of shorebirds in Patagonia
(American Ornithologists' Union, 2008-04)
Aquatic birds are considered the natural reservoir of all influenza viruses (Webster et al. 1992). Low-pathogenic avian influenza (AI) viruses have been isolated from Anseriformes (at least 36 species of ducks and 8 species ...
Exposure of Nonbreeding Migratory Shorebirds to Cholinesterase Inhibiting Contaminants in the Western Hemisphere
(Oxford Academic Press, 2010-02)
Migratory shorebirds frequently forage and roost in agricultural habitats, where they may be exposed to cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides. Exposure to organophosphorus and carbamate compounds, common anti-cholinesterases, ...
Abundance and Habitat Use of Nearctic Shorebirds in the Highland Lakes of Western Santa Cruz Province, Argentinean Patagonia
(Waterbird Society, 2015-03)
Information on Nearctic shorebirds is scarce for inland South America. This work presents information on abundance and habitat use of the species that inhabit water bodies in the highlands of western Santa Cruz province, ...
Dietary relationships among Nearctic and Neotropical migratory shorebirds in a key coastal wetland of South America
(Csiro Publishing, 2015-09)
Dietary requirements influence the structure of shorebird assemblages, and information on diet is a key to understanding why and when particular species of shorebird use an area and how competition for food might shape ...
Coexistence between Nearctic-Neotropical migratory shorebirds and humans on urban beaches of the Southern Hemisphere: a current conservation challenge in developing countries
(Springer, 2015-03-01)
The arrival of migratory shorebirds on beaches in urban communities in developing countries is a current challenge for the protection of these migrant birds. Nearctic-Neotropical migrants rely on roosting and feeding sites ...
Assessing the effects of human activities on the foraging opportunities of migratory shorebirds in Austral high-latitude bays
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Human presence at intertidal areas could impact coastal biodiversity, including migratory waterbird species and the ecosystem services they provide. Assessing this impact is therefore essential to develop management measures ...
Identifying management actions to increase foraging opportunities for shorebirds at semi-intensive shrimp farms
(2016)
1.- The expansion of aquaculture has resulted in widespread habitat conversion throughout the world. Identifying beneficial management measures may dramatically reduce negative impacts of aquaculture for migratory birds. ...
