Disturbance may impact individual birds and ultimately bird populations. If animals avoid
disturbed sites this may prevent them from being disturbed directly but may also negatively …

Protected areas (PAs) are a core component of conservation policy and practice. However,
many species for which they are designated are highly mobile, and may move among sites …

Anthropogenic disturbance of wildlife is increasing globally. Generalizing impacts of
disturbance to novel situations is challenging, as the tolerance of animals to human activities …

In a scenario of global wetland loss, rice fields are becoming vital habitats for waterbirds,
often offering abundant and predictable food resources. However, the increasing presence …

Individual variation in disturbance vulnerability (ie the likelihood that disturbance negatively
affects an individual's fitness) can affect how disturbance impacts animal populations, as …

Wildlife managers often provide spatial sanctuaries for wildlife to escape both lethal (eg
hunting) and non‐lethal (eg non‐consumptive recreation) human disturbance. However, as …

The increasing pressure of anthropogenic development in areas with high natural value
poses a huge challenge for wildlife conservation worldwide. The Tagus estuary in southern …

Habitat use of indicator species is used to prioritize management activities. However, habitat
use can vary temporally in response to changes in predation risk and foraging rewards. We …

Dense congregations of shorebirds forage on tidal flats during long-distance migration, and
their abundance is presumed to mirror the underlying ecological conditions. We quantified …

Migratory shorebirds, which have an energy-expensive lifestyle, must replenish their body
reserves during winter to ensure their survival. Hence, birds have to select wintering habitats …
