Seasonal survival and reversible state effects in a long‐distance migratory shorebird
Events during one stage of the annual cycle can reversibly affect an individual's condition
and performance not only within that stage, but also in subsequent stages (ie reversible state …

Conspecific density and habitat quality affect breeding habitat selection: Support for the social attraction hypothesis
Breeding habitat selection is a critical component of the annual cycle because of its effect on
fitness. Multiple theories of habitat selection can be differentiated by their responses to the …

[HTML][HTML] Dispersal distance is driven by habitat availability and reproductive success in Northern Great Plains piping plovers
Background Dispersal is a critical life history strategy that has important conservation implications,
particularly for at-risk species with active recovery efforts and migratory species. Both …

Impacts of extreme environmental disturbances on piping plover survival are partially moderated by migratory connectivity
Effective conservation for listed migratory species requires an understanding of how drivers
of population decline vary spatially and temporally, as well as knowledge of range-wide …

Environmental heterogeneity and biotic interactions as potential drivers of spatial patterning of shorebird nests
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 within a …
