A DNA-based dietary study of shorebird chicks in Greenland by Zhemchuzhnikov et al. #waders #shorebirds #ornithology #openaccess @GlobalFlyway

“We found that Oystercatchers were extremely sensitive to disturbance by drones, and they tolerated them less than ground researchers, when intruding into the nesting area.” – Valle & Scarton #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

Wading through Literature, by Jesper Emanuel Brodersen: Flying high or flying low? How solar radiation may influence flight altitude for migratory birds #waders #shorebirds #ornithology #openaccess @LHedh

“Contrary to earlier assumptions (…), only a few two-year-old Red Knots return to their natal area to breed at this age.” – Tomkovich & Loktionov #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

Do Oystercatchers hate drones? A comparison of flight initiation distances of four wader species in response to drone intrusion by Valle & Scarton #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

What do we know about the age of first breeding in the Red Knot? by Tomkovich & Loktionov #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

“Our study shows that even small and remote islands such as Tromelin can serve as short-term stopover sites, especially during pre-breeding migration.” – Razafimandimby et al. #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

DNA barcoding to discover chick diets The paper by Zhemchuzhnikov et al. under the spotlight. Spotlight: Paper: #waders #shorebirds #ornithology #openaccess @DebbieBuehler @GlobalFlyway

“(...) tag effects can be species specific and (...) tag-attachment methods should be considered in addition to the guidelines that a tag should weigh no more than 3–5% of the mass of a bird.” – Rankin et al. #waders #shorebirds #ornithology #OpenAccess

Migrating Turnstones use Tromelin Island as an opportunistic stopover site during pre-breeding migration by Razafimandimby et al. #waders #shorebirds #ornithology

“We found suitable habitats distributed across several clusters (…) suggesting the polder landscape serves as an important habitat for shorebirds.” – Popov et al. #waders #shorebirds #ornithology
