Upland land use predicts population decline in a globally near‐threatened wader (2014, methodology): “…and composition may affect nesting and foraging habitat quality (Pearce-Higgins et al. 2009a), and there is landscape-scale and experimental evidence that removal of predators of red grouse may benefit other ground-nesting birds, including waders (Tharme et al. 2001; Fletcher et al. 2010).”
A review of the impacts of corvids on bird productivity and abundance (2015, background): “Predator removal including Carrion Crows led to increases in the abundance of Northern Lapwing, Eurasian Curlew and Red Grouse, whereas numbers declined in the absence of predator control (Fletcher et al. 2010).”
A global threats overview for Numeniini populations: synthesising expert knowledge for a group of declining migratory birds (2017, background): “This could include the control of predators or non-lethal management of predation risk (Fletcher et al. 2010) and the adoption of relevant agri-environment scheme measures (Smart et al. 2014).”
