• A global threats overview for Numeniini populations: synthesising expert knowledge for a group of declining migratory birds (2017, background): “Most species within the tribe are large-bodied with a relatively delayed age of maturity, low fecundity and high survival rates (Piersma and Baker 2000).”
• Pay-offs and penalties of competing migratory schedules (2003, methodology): “Summary diagram of trajectories of body mass or energy stores during spring migration, adapted from Piersma and Baker (2000) with a threshold for laying (Cd) inserted based on data for swans and geese (see text). ing or wintering, even in the complete absence of hunting.”
• High-tide habitat choice: insights from modelling roost selection by shorebirds around a tropical bay (2006, background): “This may be especially important to migratory species, as their life cycle includes tightly scheduled periods of rapid gain in mass when their energy intake is much greater than that simply needed for maintenance (Lindström 1991; Piersma et al. 1994, 2005; Piersma & Baker 2000).”
• Migrating shorebirds as integrative sentinels of global environmental change (2004, unknown): “1994, Piersma & Baker 2000).”
• Estimation of survival rates for wader populations: a review of mark-recapture methods (2003, background): “Most reviews of wader demography stress low reproductive rates (clutch size ≤ 4 eggs, high nest failure, 1 brood per year), delayed age of first breeding and relatively high adult survival (0.7 to 0.9, Evans & Pienkowski 1984, Myers et al. 1987, Piersma & Baker 2000).”
