• Tradeoffs between food abundance and predation danger in spatial usage of a stopover site by western sandpipers, Calidris mauri (2006, methodology): “Each taxa sampled has been shown to be consumed intentionally (Wolf 2001) or unintentionally (Sutherland et al. 2000) by western sandpipers.”
• WESTERN SANDPIPERS (CALIDRIS MAURI) DURING THE NONBREEDING SEASON: SPATIAL SEGREGATION ON A HEMISPHERIC SCALE (2002, background): “They use several different modes of feeding, but pecking (with the bill just touching the substrate surface) and probing (when the bill is more deeply inserted) is most common (Sutherland et al. 2000).”
• Functional association of bill morphology and foraging behaviour in calidrid sandpipers (2005, background): “Calidrid sandpipers can forage by both pecking and probing modes on intertidal invertebrates during migration and in the non-breeding season (Sutherland et al., 2000; Mathot and Elner, 2004; Nebel, 2005).”
