|
Beach profiles, sand grain sizes, and CO2 efflux were compared across three sea turtle nesting beaches with varying levels of anthropogenic impact. Baselines were established for each parameter and will be used to examine sea turtle nesting and hatching success, and as a starting point for long-term monitoring of the beach.

We propose to use two existing sight/resight datasets to estimate population parameters for piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) and the rufa subspecies of red knot (Calidris canutus rufa), two federally-listed shorebird species that occur along Florida coasts during their nonbreeding season.

Using a long-term count and mark-resight database collected from 2013 to 2018, we (1) estimated annual survival, and (2) investigated the drivers of habitat selection of Piping Plovers in the Florida panhandle. Our results reiterate the importance of protected habitats to nonbreeding and migratory Piping Plovers in Florida, and are consistent with the results from other studies of nonbreeding Piping Plovers in South Carolina and Georgia.

|
The Southeastern U.S. is an important nonbreeding area for Red Knots, supporting migratory and overwintering populations. Studies indicate possible regional declines and shifts in distribution in the knot population in the Southeast; however, most studies have focused on subregions of the Southeast, leaving questions about use and connectivity across the region as a whole. Using over a decade of data from ebird and band resightings from bandedbirds.org, we examined: (1) movement strategies of knots in coastal areas from Texas to North Carolina, and (2) the distribution of knots across that range and what drives that distribution.

|
February 2017
|
To determine the importance of diet on brood survival, we modeled daily survival rates of broods as a function of energy intake rate and other ecological factors. Delivery rates differed by age, however, the composition and size classes of prey fed to chicks by their parents did not, indicating that adults respond to the energetic needs of broods by increasing parental effort rather than switching prey.

|
September 2015
|
The collection of prey remains at nest sites is a widely-used method for estimating diet of Black Oystercatcher chicks. However, we found estimates are biased on prey body type and nesting habitat, and alternative methods should be considered.

|
To understand the relationship between Black Oystercatchers and the prey on which they depend, we studied their diet, feeding rates, brood growth and survival in Kenai Fjords National Park in 2013 and 2014. Adults responded to the energetic needs of broods by increasing parental effort rather than switching prey, and broods that were fed more had higher survival rates.

|
We found that energy intake was directly related to chick survival in Black Oystercatchers. Increased demands by growing chicks were met through increased provisioning rates by adult birds and not by changing prey type or size class.

Powell, A. N. 2017. The challenges of restoring populations of artic-breeding eiders. Special session, Planning Restoration and Recovery of Sea Ducks Injured in Coastal Oil Spills. 6th International Sea Duck Conference, 7 February, Tiburon, CA.
|
February 2017
|
The goal of this special session was to facilitate interactions among international experts on sea duck ecology and management and to provide a list of appropriate actions (e.g. restore habitat or food resources, reduce stressors) that will directly benefit sea duck populations. It will provide a summary of specific actions for sea duck recovery as well as concrete guidelines for designing successful sea duck restoration projects.

Our finding that both American and Pacific Golden-Plovers selected open habitat for nest sites suggests that climate-related shrub encroachment may have negative effects on reproductive success in the long term. In the short term, both species may be able to adjust selection of their breeding territories and nest sites in response to gradual vegetation change on the tundra.

February 2015
|
Tidally-driven gas exchange in the sediment of three spatially close but physically different (accreting, eroding and nourished) sea turtle nesting beaches was examined. Incubating eggs of threatened and endangered sea turtle species require optimal ranges of gas exchange within the nest, and this study provides baseline information on natural gas exchange mechanisms.

|
August 2015
|
Ghost crabs have long been documented as sea turtle nest and hatchling predators. Crab burrow density in proximity to sea turtle nests was compared on driving and non-driving beaches. Results indicate that the suppression of ghost crab activity on beaches where driving occurs may decrease the potential for crab/nest interactions.

We considered individual variation in feather CORT of Semipalmated Sandpipers by breeding area, age, and sex. Preliminary results indicated fCORT varied significantly by breeding area, with higher stress recorded during winter molt in birds from the declining eastern population than in birds from the western population.

Husbandry efforts for conservation of T&E species benefit greatly from early discrimination of gender. This work describes an inexpensive, non-invasive method of determining gender in hicatee turtles through photographic colorimetry, a technique which may have broader applications to natural history questions.

Feeding patterns of wild hicatee from a variety of habitats were examined, using gut contents. This work will inform development of optimal captive diets for breeding and re-introduction of the species.

February 2017
|
Most of the king and common eiders nesting in northern Alaska and northwestern Canada migrate past Point Barrow, Alaska, during spring and fall migration. Spring migration counts have been conducted approximately every ten years at Point Barrow since 1976, and indicated that both eider species experienced population declines of approximately 50% between 1976 and 1996, and that the declines had stabilized by 2004. We conducted spring counts in 2015 and 2016 to obtain population estimates that can be compared with those from 1970s, 1996, and the early 2000s in order to evaluate long-term and current trends

Most of the king (Somateria spectabilis) and common eiders (S. mollissima v-nigra) nesting in northern Alaska and northwestern Canada migrate past Point Barrow, Alaska, during spring and fall migration. Counts of eiders passing Point Barrow have occurred ~ every 10 years to estimate population sizes. We conducted counts in spring 2015 and 2016 and compare numbers to previous counts, starting in the 1970s.

Numerous studies have shown that hatchling, juvenile and adult sea turtles respond to a variety of environmental cues for orientation and navigation. This research examines the early development and calibration of these responses and may inform policies on nest relocation and habitat management.

This work seeks to elucidate thethe multiple behavioral components of leatherback turtle long-distance migrations. Finding of varying destinations, behaviors and foraging strategies may inform conservation strategies and designation of protected areas.
