We review the conservation issues facing migratory shorebird populations that breed in
temperate regions and use wetlands in the non‐breeding season. Shorebirds are excellent …

Ongoing climate change is thought to disrupt trophic relationships, with consequences for
complex interspecific interactions, yet the effects of climate change on species interactions …

Globally, riparian ecosystems are in decline due to anthropogenic modifications, including
damming. Reduced frequency and altered timing of flood events decreases sandbar …

Effective management of wildlife populations requires identification of the factors limiting
their growth. The Pi** Plover (Charadrius melodus) is an imperiled, disturbance …

Habitat loss is a principal cause of species extinction and, therefore, a key conservation
problem as the world's human population approaches 8 billion. Plovers worldwide are …

Understanding relationships between habitat and ecological processes often depends on
the spatial scale at which the landscape is measured. A common objective in studies of …

The endangered Ohlone tiger beetle (Cicindela ohlone) depends on bare ground areas in
California coastal grasslands to encounter mates, oviposit, and find prey. We tested habitat …

As anthropogenic impacts on riverine ecosystems expand, both aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems are influenced over large spatiotemporal scales. We predicted how riparian bird …

Ecology and conservation are intimately entwined. The former seeks to understand the
factors (eg, food, predation, habitat) that limit and influence the distribution and abundance …

Breeding biology figures prominently in the management and conservation of plovers.
Accordingly, we reviewed the literature for the 40 species of the Charadrius plover clade to …
