The Arctic supports a diversity of breeding birds. Since the mid-twentieth century,
anthropogenic-source climate change, industrial activity and harvest have impacted this …

Ground‐nesting species are vulnerable to a wide range of predators and often experience
very high levels of nest predation. Strategies to reduce nest vulnerability can include …

Aim To test whether the occupancy of shorebirds has changed in the eastern Canadian
Arctic, and whether these changes could indicate that shorebird distributions are shifting in …

Competing theoretical perspectives about whether or not climate is the dominant factor
influencing species' distributions at large spatial scales have important consequences when …

Understanding an organism's habitat selection and behavioural flexibility in the face of
environmental change can help managers plan for future conservation of that species …

Many long-distance migratory birds use habitats that are scattered across continents and
confront hazards throughout the annual cycle that may be population-limiting. Identifying …

Shorebirds are a group of birds of particularly high conservation concern in Canada and
around the world, due to significant declines in their populations. In Canada, shorebirds …

Context Species distributions are driven by a wide variety of abiotic and biotic factors,
including nest placement for breeding individuals. As such, the spatial distribution of nests …

Abstract The Drift Prairie, in central North America, has been largely converted from
grasslands to croplands, but still contains thousands of wetlands used by shorebirds and …

The costs and benefits of interactions among species can vary spatially or temporally,
making them context-dependent. For example, benefits associated with nesting near …
