DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3044
Abstract: The red knot Calidris canutus, a flagship migratory waterbird species, continues to decline within the Americas. One major unanswered question is the status and connectivity of birds spending the non‐breeding season on the southern Pacific… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract To successfully perform their long‐distance migrations, migratory birds require sites along their migratory routes to rest and refuel. Monitoring the use of so‐called stopover and staging sites provides insights into (a) the timing of… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundSpace use strategies by foraging animals are often considered to be species-specific. However, similarity between conspecific strategies may also result from similar resource environments. Here, we revisit classic predictions of the relationships between the resource… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0270224
Abstract: Understanding factors that influence a species’ distribution and abundance across the annual cycle is required for range-wide conservation. Thousands of imperiled red knots (Calidris cantus rufa) stop on Virginia’s barrier islands each year to replenish… read more here.
