The paradox of shorebird diversity and abundance in the west coast and east coast of India: a comparative analysis
Migratory shorebirds that move across continents along their flyways are undergoing a
drastic decline globally. A greater proportion of them that regularly winter along the Indian …

Recruitment and establishment of the gut microbiome in arctic shorebirds
Gut microbiota play a key role in host health. Mammals acquire gut microbiota during birth,
but timing of gut microbial recruitment in birds is unknown. We evaluated whether precocial …

Composition and drivers of gut microbial communities in arctic-breeding shorebirds
Gut microbiota can have important effects on host health, but explanatory factors and
pathways that determine gut microbial composition can differ among host lineages. In …

Individual egg camouflage is influenced by microhabitat selection and use of nest materials in ground-nesting birds
Camouflage is a widespread strategy to avoid predation and is of particular importance for
animals with reduced mobility or those in exposed habitats. Camouflage often relies on …

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 …

Transitioning Wintering Shorebirds to Agroecosystem: A Thorough Evaluation of Habitat Selection and Conservation Concern
Habitat fragmentation and degradation in natural wetlands has resulted in declines in the
populations of shorebirds in the Indian subcontinent. Shorebirds rely on these wetlands as …

Factors determining nest‐site selection of surface‐nesting seabirds: a case study on the world's largest pelagic bird, the Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans)
Several factors may drive bird nest‐site selection, including predation risk, resource
availability, weather conditions and interaction with other individuals. Understanding the …

Food web interactions of two breeding Arctic shorebird species, little stint Calidris minuta and red knot Calidris canutus, are shaped by their elevational distribution
Birds often have to choose their nest site location along a food safety axis, balancing nest
predation danger with the food requirements of themselves and their offspring. This is …

Coastal meadow management for threatened waders has a strong supporting impact on meadow plants and amphibians
Wet grasslands provide unique habitats for several taxa and offer multiple ecosystem
services. Their degradation is therefore of increasing concern in many parts of the world …

Climate variables are not the dominant predictor of Arctic shorebird distributions
Competing theoretical perspectives about whether or not climate is the dominant factor
influencing species' distributions at large spatial scales have important consequences when …
