Selecting umbrella species for conservation: A test of habitat models and niche overlap for beach-nesting birds
Umbrella species are rarely selected systematically from a range of candidate species. On
sandy beaches, birds that nest on the upper beach or in dunes are threatened globally and …

The early shorebird will catch fewer invertebrates on trampled sandy beaches
Many species of birds breeding on ocean beaches and in coastal dunes are of global
conservation concern. Most of these species rely on invertebrates (eg insects, small …

Marine turtles are not fussy nesters: a novel test of small-scale nest site selection using structure from motion beach terrain information
Background Nest selection is widely regarded as a key process determining the fitness of
individuals and viability of animal populations. For marine turtles that nest on beaches, this …
