Arrival and Weight Gain of Red Knot Calidris Canutus, Ruddy Turnstone Arenaria Interpres and Sanderling Calidris Alba Staging in Delaware Bay in Spring

R.A. Robinson, P.W. Atkinson, and N.A. Clark

British Trust For Ornithology

2003

A 50 page report which analyses patterns of weight gain in three species of shorebirds over a six year period between 1997 and 2002. Birds were caught in May of each year on both the Delaware and New Jersey sides of the Bay using cannon nets.

Geographical Variation in Waders

Meinte Engelmoer

1998

"The migratory habits and migration schedules of waders can better be understood by analyzing their measurements. Therefore, a clear characterization of breeding populations and the proper statistical tools is needed. In this text the morphometrical variation of the following species was studied with multivariate statistics: Ringed Plover, Semipalmated Plover, Eurasian Golden Plover, Grey Plover, Red Knot, Sanderling, Curlew Sandpiper, Purple Sandpiper, Dunlin, Black-tailed Godwit, Bar-tailed Godwit, Whimbrel, Eurasian Curlew, Redshank and Ruddy Turnstone. The taxonomy of most species was revised. The Black-tailed Godwit was split into two species. The same was done with the Whimbrel. Four new subspecies were described in, respectively, the Grey Plover (Wrangel Island), the Purple Sandpiper (Hudson Bay) and the Bar-tailed Godwit (Taymyr, Anadyr). The characteristics of the various subspecies and/or populations were quantified. Outside the breeding areas these characteristics can be helpful in producing estimates of the population composition of migrating and wintering populations throughout the world."
