Kentish Versus Snowy Plover: Phenotypic and Genetic Analyses of Charadrius alexandrinus Reveal Divergence of Eurasian and American Subspecies (2009, background): “Shorebirds, gulls, terns, and auks (Charadriiformes) harbor many species with outstanding migration abilities and widespread geographic distributions (del Hoyo et al. 1996, van de Kam et al. 2004).”
Distinctly variable mudscapes: Distribution gradients of intertidal macrofauna across the Dutch Wadden Sea☆ (2013, background): “: +31 222 n). rights reserved. example, the Wadden Sea is a nursery area for commercial fish and shrimp and provides a staging area for waterbirds migrating along the East-Atlantic flyway (Boere and Piersma, 2012; van de Kam et al., 2004; Wolff, 1983; Zijlstra, 1972; Zwarts, 1996).”
Using the power of comparison to explain habitat use and migration strategies of shorebirds worldwide (2007, background): “…exhibit great variability, both within and between families, in the degree of sexual size and plumage dimorphism and in mating system (van de Kam et al. 2004), and this has invited several comparative analyses of sexually selected traits in relation to ecology, migration and mating system…”
