The threatened population of Atlantic Coast piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) has
increased under intensive management of predation and disturbance. However, the relative …

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 …

Beaches are attractive areas that are subject to multiple pressures. Some of these beaches
are located in large coastal cities with which they interact on a physical and social level …

Predation is an important cause of nest failure for many birds and has shaped the life‐history
characteristics of many species, especially ground‐nesting shorebirds. We examined …

To effectively restore wildlife habitat, ecological research must be easily translated into
practical design criteria. Clear directives from research can support arguments that promote …

Abstract The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although
disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of …

Climate change is raising sea levels, threatening many low-lying coastal areas and
associated wildlife. We assessed the threat of sea-level rise (SLR) to the breeding habitat of …

Animals use proximate cues to select resources that maximize individual fitness. When
animals have a diverse array of available habitats, those selected could give insights into …

Sea-level rise and human development pose significant threats to shorebirds, particularly for
species that utilize barrier island habitat. The piping plover (Charadrius melodus) is a …
