A review of the biology of European cockles (Cerastoderma spp.) (2012, background): “They occur from Norway to Morocco and through the Baltic, Mediterranean and Black Seas.”
Migrating shorebirds as integrative sentinels of global environmental change (2004, background): “Instead, there are convincing data that implicate the key role of direct effects of human activities such as mechanical dredging (for shellfish and sand) and other fishery activities in shorebird population declines (Camphuysen et al . 1996, Piersma & Koolhaas 1997, Austin et al . 2000, Piersma et a”
Estimation of survival rates for wader populations: a review of mark-recapture methods (2003, methodology): “Modern recovery models have been applied to only four species of waders: Eurasian Oystercatcher ( Ŝ = 0.89, Atkinson et al. 2003), Northern Lapwing ( Ŝ = 0.71, Peach et al. 1994, Ŝ = 0.83, Catchpole et al. 1999), Red Knot ( Ŝ = 0.79, Boyd & Piersma 2001a, Ŝ = 0.88, Atkinson et al. 2003), and…”
Climate change causes rapid changes in the distribution and site abundance of birds in winter (2008, background): “Eutrophication, which increases wader numbers, is most problematic at warmer sites, whereas shell-fisheries, which can lead to a decrease in numbers is a major issue at some colder sites such as The Wash (Atkinson et al., 2003) and Wadden Sea (van Roomen et al.”
Dredging for edible cockles (Cerastoderma edule) on intertidal flats: short-term consequences of fisher patch-choice decisions for target and non-target benthic fauna (2007, background): “…be; Van Gils et al. 2006c) and free of travel costs (which they are not; Goss-Custard et al. 2004; Van Gils et al. 2006c), and that 30% of the required intake can be covered by other food sources (not a robust assumption according to Smit et al. 1998; Camphuysen et al. 2002; Atkinson et al. 2003).”
