Source(s): HUITZIL: Journal of Mexican Ornithology. ene-jun2022, Vol. 23 Issue 1, p1-10. 10p.
Abstract: La pérdida de hábitat de reproducción y la depredación de nidos son las principales causas del declive de las poblaciones del chorlo nevado (Charadrius nivosus) a nivel mundial. Evaluamos el efecto de la temporada, edad del nido, distancia al parche má...
Factors influencing the abundance of wintering western snowy plovers at Crown Memorial State Beach
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): California Fish and Wildlife Journal, Vol 107, Iss 3, Pp 249-259 (2021)
Abstract: Survival during the nonbreeding season, when mortality from food shortages and raptor predation is highest, influences shorebird population growth. These selection pressures, as well as anthropogenic influences, can shape wintering shorebird habitat us...
Monitoring Western Snowy Plover Nests with Remote Surveillance Systems in San Francisco Bay, California.

Snowy Plover Nest Site Characteristics and Use of Drone Imagery to Predict Potential Nesting Habitat.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Colorado Birds. Fall2017/Winter2018, Vol. 51/52 Issue 4/1, p10-14. 5p.
Abstract: In 2016, I determined specific nesting characteristics for the Snowy Plover in the San Luis Valley, and assessed the use of drone imagery to predict potential nesting habitat. Based on literature review, drones have never been used to predict Snowy Plo...

Nest initiation and flooding in response to season and semi-lunar spring tides in a ground-nesting shorebird
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Frontiers in Zoology, Vol 16, Iss 1, Pp 1-11 (2019)
Abstract: Abstract Background Marine and intertidal organisms face the rhythmic environmental changes induced by tides. The large amplitude of spring tides that occur around full and new moon may threaten nests of ground-nesting birds. These birds face a trade-o...
Coastal saltpans are a good alternative breeding habitat for Kentish plover Charadrius alexandrinus when umbrella species are present.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of Avian Biology. Dec2016, Vol. 47 Issue 6, p824-833. 10p.
Abstract: The loss and degradation of natural habitats in coastal areas worldwide has adversely affected many waterbird species, changing their breeding distribution and reducing their productivity. Anthropogenic habitats such as saltpans can provide alternative...
