Why do earlier‐arriving migratory birds have better breeding success?
In migratory birds, early arrival on breeding sites is typically associated with greater
breeding success, but the mechanisms driving these benefits are rarely known. One …

Phenological mismatch in Arctic‐breeding shorebirds: Impact of snowmelt and unpredictable weather conditions on food availability and chick growth
The ecological consequences of climate change have been recognized in numerous
species, with perhaps phenology being the most well‐documented change. Phenological …

Measuring habitat quality for waterbirds: A review
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 …

Effects of environmental conditions on reproductive effort and nest success of Arctic‐breeding shorebirds
The Arctic is experiencing rapidly warming conditions, increasing predator abundance, and
diminishing population cycles of keystone species such as lemmings. However, it is still not …

Annual adult survival drives trends in Arctic-breeding shorebirds but knowledge gaps in other vital rates remain
Conservation status and management priorities are often informed by population trends.
Trend estimates can be derived from population surveys or models, but both methods are …

Shorebird reproductive response to exceptionally early and late springs varies across sites in Arctic Alaska
While increases in overall temperatures are widely reported in the Arctic, large inter-annual
variation in spring weather, with extreme early and late conditions, is also occurring. Using …

Mutual mate guarding with limited sexual conflict in a sex-role-reversed shorebird
Mate guarding is typically considered a male strategy to protect paternity. However, under
some circumstances, females might also benefit from guarding their mate. Female mate …

Why do avian responses to change in Arctic green‐up vary?
Global climate change has altered the timing of seasonal events (ie, phenology) for a
diverse range of biota. Within and among species, however, the degree to which alterations …
