• Can conditions experienced during migration limit the population levels of birds? (2006, background): “An accompanying steep decline in sandpiper numbers at Sidney Island was accounted for by shortening stopovers (mean 8.4 days, falling to 2.7 days), rather than by fewer individuals using the site.”
• Tradeoffs between food abundance and predation danger in spatial usage of a stopover site by western sandpipers, Calidris mauri (2006, background): “Shorebirds balance the benefits of feeding with the costs of predation by using sites with low energy-intake rates in order to gain safety from predators (Cresswell 1994a, Ydenberg et al. 2002, Yasué et al. 2003), furthermore they can alter their usage within a site to optimize this tradeoff.”
• Foraging strategies involved in habitat use of shorebirds at the intertidal area of Chongming Dongtan, China (2007, background): “…2001), prey availability (McNeil et al. 1995; Hubbard and Dugan 2003) and selectivity (Kalejta 1993; Backwell et al. 1998), predation risk (Cresswell 1994; Ydenberg et al. 2002), and abiotic factors (Burger 1984) are often used to explain the differences in the habitat use of coexisting shorebirds.”
• Rates of mass gain and energy deposition in red knot on their final spring staging site is both time‐ and condition‐dependent (2007, background): “Therefore individuals must possess a degree of flexibility to speed up or slow down their migration (Farmer & Wiens 1999; Ydenberg et al . 2002, 2004; Lank et al . 2003).”
• Effects of Predation Danger on Migration Strategies of Sandpipers (2003, background): “…tactic birds may use to do so is to forage in larger open sites, such as extensive mudflats, which provide safety for feeding or roosting shorebirds, rather than smaller sites surrounded by vegetation, which facilitates stealthy approaches by falcons or other raptors (Ydenberg et al. 2002).”
• EXTRINSIC AND INTRINSIC SOURCES OF VARIATION IN PLASMA LIPID METABOLITES OF FREE-LIVING WESTERN SANDPIPERS (CALIDRIS MAURI) (2002, background): “…related to rate of mass change (Williams et al. 1999), only TRIG varied in a predictable manner given the expected patterns of mass change in the field, and (2) TRIG can differ significantly between stopover sites, indicating differences in the rate of mass gain (see also Ydenberg et al. 2002).”
• Determining the fitness consequences of antipredation behavior (2005, background): “For example, Western sandpipers Calidris mauri appear to choose stopover sites based on their internal state as well as the risk and profitability connected to a specific patch (Ydenberg et al., 2002).”
