Article
Andrea H. Claassen, Auteur ; Ko Sok, Auteur ; Todd W. Arnold, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, AuteurSummary Direct payments to communities or individuals have gained traction as a tool for species conservation; however, few studies have evaluated their effectiveness. From 2010 to 2014, we monitored nests and implemented a direct payment nest p[...]
Article
Katherine E. Wyman, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, AuteurRecent dramatic growth of the North American Interior population of Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) has led to concern about potential impacts of this species on co-nesting colonial waterbirds. Previous investigations of these [...]
Article
Age-specific survival and recruitment of piping plovers Charadrius melodus in the Great Lakes region
Sarah P. Saunders, Auteur ; Todd W. Arnold, Auteur ; Erin A. Roche, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, AuteurJuvenile survival and age at first breeding (i.e. recruitment) are critical parameters affecting population dynamics in birds, but high levels of natal dispersal preclude measurement of these variables in most species. We used multi-state captur[...]
Article
Sarah P. Saunders, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, AuteurFew investigators have studied the offspring sex ratios of monomorphic shorebirds because visually determining the sex of juveniles is not possible. We investigated the ontogeny of an observed male-biased adult sex ratio in the federally endange[...]
Article
Erin A. Roche, Auteur ; Todd W. Arnold, Auteur ; Jennifer H. Stucker, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, AuteurLeg bands are commonly used to mark shorebird chicks as young as 1-d old, but little is known about the possible impacts of bands on survival of prefledging shorebirds. We used a mark-recapture framework to assess the impact of bands and banding[...]
Article
Genetic and environmental influences on fitness-related traits in an endangered shorebird population
Sarah P. Saunders, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, AuteurAdaptation depends on the additive genetic variance for fitness and its component traits. Yet estimating additive genetic variance and heritability for wild populations is challenging because determining relatedness of individuals is difficult. [...]
Article
Erin A. Roche, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, Auteur ; Todd W. Arnold, AuteurSince 1992, efforts to recover the US federally endangered Great Lakes piping plover (Charadrius melodus) have included population supplementation with captive-reared young raised from abandoned eggs. Using banding data collected 1993-2008 and C[...]
Article
Matthew A. Etterson, Auteur ; Julie R. Etterson, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, AuteurThe composition of animal communities changes over time in response to natural processes (disease dynamics, plant community succession) and anthropogenic disturbances (habitat fragmentation, climate change). Detection and analysis of community c[...]
Article
Catherine D. Haffner, Auteur ; Francesca J. Cuthbert, Auteur ; Todd W. Arnold, AuteurIdentifying and protecting breeding habitat for imperiled species requires an understanding of the spatial and temporal movements of breeding individuals. During the 2003 and 2004 breeding seasons, we examined space use by Piping Plovers (Charad[...]
