Shorebirds are declining to a greater extent than many other avian taxa around the world. In
North America, shorebirds, along with aerial insectivores and grassland birds, have some of …

Sea-level rise (SLR) will greatly alter littoral ecosystems, causing habitat change and loss for
coastal species. Habitat loss is widely used as a measurement of the risk of extinction, but …

Millions of birds migrate to and from the Arctic each year, but rapid climate change in the
High North could strongly affect where species are able to breed, disrupting migratory …

In this paper, I argue that to fully grasp the generation and maintenance of variation in the
migratory phenotypes of (shore-) birds we need to expand our scientific search image and …

The fuelling performance of long-distance migrants at staging areas indicates local
conditions and determines the viability of migration routes. Here we present a first case …

Every year, millions of migratory shorebirds fly through the East Asian–Australasian Flyway
between their arctic breeding grounds and Australasia. This flyway includes numerous …

Migratory bird populations may be limited during one or more seasons, and thus at one or
more places, but there is a dearth of empirical examples of this possibility. We analyse …

Large-scale and population-wide monitoring of waders on their boreal and arctic breeding
grounds has hitherto been lacking, mainly because logistics are truly challenging in regions …

We review the current and future threats to duck populations that breed, stage, moult and/or
winter in the Nordic countries. Migratory duck species are sensitive indicators of their …

Conservation of long-distance migratory shorebirds is complex because these species use
habitats spread across continents and hemispheres, making identification of critical habitats …
