Sea-level rise will lead to widespread habitat loss if warming exceeds 2° C, threatening
coastal wildlife globally. Reductions in coastal habitat quality are also expected but their …

Reptilia exploit a large diversity of food resources from plant materials to living mobile prey.
They are among the first tetrapods that needed to drink to maintain their water homeostasis …

Quantifying habitat quality is dependent on measuring a site's relative contribution to
population growth rate. This is challenging for studies of waterbirds, whose high mobility can …

We aimed to identify patterns in the internal distribution of persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) and assess contributing factors using sea turtles and their offspring as a case study …

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 …

Background Our understanding of movement patterns and behaviours of wildlife has
advanced greatly through the use of improved tracking technologies, including application of …

Shorebird populations, especially those feeding on shellfish, have strongly declined in
recent decades and identifying the drivers of these declines is important for conservation …

Spatiotemporal variations in food availability represent a challenge to the persistence of
specialist species. The American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) is a shorebird …

Climate warming advances the optimal timing of breeding for many animals. For migrants to
start breeding earlier, a concurrent advancement of migration is required, including …

When waders gather in mixed‐species flocks to feed on benthic prey, differences in
morphological traits, foraging strategies and prey selection may allow different species to …
