Résumé :
|
Most populations of wader species breeding on wet grassland in Western and Central Europe have declined over the past decades. In Germany, Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus, Dunlin subspecies Calidris alpina schinzii, Ruff Philomachus pugnax, Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago, Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata, Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Redshank Tringa totanus are red listed. Survival rates of adult and first year birds of different populations of European Oystercatchers Haematopus ostralegus, Northern Lapwings, Eurasian Curlews, Black-tailed Godwits and Redshanks were almost stable since the 1970ies, whereas breeding success rates (numbers of fledglings per pair) decreased over the same period. Threats present at the breeding sites thus are more likely to have caused the declines than threats present during the non-breeding season.
