Coastal urbanization and the integrity of estuarine waterbird communities: Threshold responses and the importance of scale

DeLuca, William V.; Studds, Colin E.; King, Ryan S.; Marra, Peter P. (2008)

Estuarine ecosystems are becoming increasingly altered by the concentration of human populations near the coastline, however a robust indicator of this change is lacking. We developed an index of waterbird community integrity ...
Land Cover and Rainfall Interact to Shape Waterbird Community Composition

Studds, Colin E.; DeLuca, William V.; Baker, Matthew E.; King, Ryan S.; Marra, Peter P. (2012)

Human land cover can degrade estuaries directly through habitat loss and fragmentation or indirectly through nutrient inputs that reduce water quality. Strong precipitation events are occurring more frequently, causing ...
Transoceanic migration by a 12 g songbird
