Article
Julia Ryeland, Auteur ; Michael J. L. Magrath, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurIn species with biparental care, diel patterns in male and female incubation arise due to the differential costs and benefits of incubation. This pattern should be less obvious or absent in species where both sexes stand to benefit significantly[...]
Article
Kristal N. Kostoglou, Auteur ; Edward H. Miller, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; David R. Wilson, AuteurAcoustic communication is critical during early life phases in precocial birds; for example, adult alarm calls can elicit antipredator behaviour in young, and chick vocalizations can communicate information to parents about chick identity, condi[...]
Article
Adam P. A. Cardilini, Auteur ; Daniel Lees, Auteur ; Dylan Roche, Auteur ; Peter Dann, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurVariations in eye colour in birds are poorly documented. We measured and characterised eyes of 25 birds in the hand (16° × 22.5° segments per eye), using standardised and scaled images, and examined observations of 1 marked individual through ti[...]
Article
April D. Timmis, Auteur ; Matthew R. E. Symonds, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurBirds face the challenge of avoiding predators, yet the postural adjustments they use to aid their thermoregulation (resting the bill on their back plumage and standing on one leg), may diminish their capacity to detect and escape from approachi[...]
Article
Kristal N. Kostoglou, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurEmbryonic vocalizations in birds may enable communication between embryos and incubating parents but responses of parents to embryonic vocalizations have not been measured experimentally. In two ground-nesting shorebirds, we compare parental car[...]
Article
Kristal N. Kostoglou, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Steven J. Bowe, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurGround-nesting shorebirds rely on egg crypsis as one of their main anti-predator defence strategies. Avian embryos vocalize late in incubation and communicate with parents through the eggshell but calls may compromise crypsis. Conceivably, embry[...]
Article
Christine A. Connelly, Auteur ; Erin Lennox, Auteur ; Bronwyn Isaac, Auteur ; Vincent Aulich, Auteur ; Raylene Cooke, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; John G. White, AuteurLocal native species that decline in response to urbanisation are often classified as ‘urban avoiders’. Their decline drives the biotic homogenisation seen in cities but the characterisation of these species as urban avoiders may discourage effo[...]

Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Kasun B. Ekanayake, Auteur ; Stephanie Lomas, Auteur ; Hayley K. Glover, Auteur ; Renee E. Mead, Auteur ; Aimie Cribbin, Auteur ; Laura X. L. Tan, Auteur ; Desley A. Whisson, Auteur ; Grainne S. Maguire, Auteur ; Adam P. A. Cardilini, AuteurCapsule: Trail cameras monitoring clutches of ground-nesting birds in Australia revealed survival rates and new causes of egg loss. We also show that nests with artificial eggs versus real eggs do not reveal the same information on predators.Aim[...]
Article
Julia Ryeland, Auteur ; Matthew R. E. Symonds, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurThe morphology of the bill is an important aspect of many avian ecological and biological studies. Most studies report the straight line length of the bill; however, for birds with curved bills, this may underestimate the overall length. Here we[...]

Studds, Auteur ; Chi-Yeung Choi, Auteur ; Kiran L. Dhanjal-Adams, Auteur ; Nicholas J. Murray, Auteur ; Gregory A. Skilleter, Auteur ; Richard A. Fuller, AuteurDecreases in shorebird populations are increasingly evident worldwide, especially in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway (EAAF). To arrest these declines, it is important to understand the scale of both the problem and the solutions. We analysed [...]
Article
Reece D. Pedler, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Andrew T. D. Bennett, AuteurParental care strategies have been widely investigated in shorebirds that undertake long-distance regular migrations. In contrast, virtually nothing is known of the parental care of nomadic, opportunistically breeding shorebirds, although the ir[...]
Article
Adam P. A. Cardilini, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Peter Dann, Auteur ; Craig D. H. Sherman, AuteurABSTRACT Sex roles during incubation vary dramatically in socially monogamous shorebirds. The ?incubator conspicuousness? hypothesis posits that, for biparentally incubating and sexually dimorphic birds, the more conspicuous sex should incubate [...]
Article
Wouter F.D. Van Dongen, Auteur ; Emily M. McLeod, Auteur ; Raoul A. Mulder, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Patrick-Jean Guay, AuteurCapsule Responses of animals to anthropogenic disturbances are often quantified using flight-initiation distance, the distance at which an animal flees a stimulus such as a person. We showed that the height of 20 researchers, selected to represe[...]

Article
Patrick-Jean Guay, Auteur ; Wouter F. D. van Dongen, Auteur ; Randall W. Robinson, Auteur ; Daniel T. Blumstein, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurThe characterisation and management of deleterious processes affecting wildlife are ideally based on sound scientific information. However, relevant information is often absent, or difficult to access or contextualise for specific management pur[...]
Article
Grainne S. Maguire, Auteur ; Dejan Stojanovic, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurContext. Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is induced by an association of a food item with a negative experience, such as illness, which causes animals to avoid subsequent consumption of that particular food item. Inducing CTA may help reduce de[...]
Article
Laura X. L. Tan, Auteur ; Katherine L. Buchanan, Auteur ; Grainne S. Maguire, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurPredator exclosures ('nest cages') around nests are increasingly used to enhance hatching success of declining ground-nesting birds. However, such exclosures are contentious and have been suggested to have detrimental effects on the species whic[...]

Hoffman, Auteur ; Tamás Székely, Auteur ; Terry Burke, Auteur ; Clemens Kuepper, AuteurExtra-pair paternity is a common reproductive strategy in many bird species. However, it remains unclear why extra-pair paternity occurs and why it varies among species and populations. Plovers (Charadrius spp.) exhibit considerable variation in[...]
Article
Desley A. Whisson, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Kelly Shannon, AuteurContext. In peri-urban environments, high availability of anthropogenic resources may result in relatively high abundances of some species, with potentially negative implications for other native biota. Effective management of such impacts requi[...]
Article
Kasun B. Ekanayake, Auteur ; Desley A. Whisson, Auteur ; Laura X. L. Tan, Auteur ; Michael A. Weston, AuteurContext. Loss of eggs to predators is a major cause of reproductive failure among birds. It is especially pronounced among ground-nesting birds because their eggs are accessible to a wide range of predators. Few studies document the main causes [...]
Article
Michael A. Weston, Auteur ; Glenn C. Ehmke, Auteur ; Grainne S. Maguire, AuteurAn understanding of space use and dispersal of a wildlife species is essential for effective management.
