Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold

How adaptable are shorebirds to variable breeding conditions?

Rebecca McGuire, Richard Lanctot, Sarah Saalfeld, Dan

Ruthrauff, Chris Latty, and Stephen Brown

Shorebird Declines

Nearly half of shorebird populations worldwide, including 61% of populations in North America and 88% of species in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, have shown long-term population declines associated with anthropogenic change

• The Arctic Coastal Plain is one of the most important avian breeding grounds in the world

• Millions of breeding birds, of over 90 species

• Greater variability, less predictable weather

• Increased precipitation, primarily in winter, delayed snowmelt

Climate Change on the Arctic Coastal Plain

How will increasing variability of climatic conditions impact tundra-nesting shorebirds?

Who Wins in the Climate Change Game?

Conservative

Site faithful, territorial, monogamous, bi-parental, relatively evenly spaced

Opportunistic

Uniparental, polygamous, not site faithful, not evenly spaced

Nest searching, floating eggs, nest checks, etc.

Conservative Species: AMGP, BARG, BBPL, DUNL, RUTU, SESA, STSAS, WESA, and LBDO

Opportunistic Species: RNPH, REPH, BBSA, PESA

Summary

Nest survival pattern does not vary by reproductive strategy within sites, between early and late springs

Did predators obscure the importance of breeding strategy in variable springs?

Predator control?Sites with human presence?

Is breeding strategy less important than habitat selection?

Did my groupings of strategy obscure effects?

Does effect of spring type decrease as we head east?

Does spring condition impact chick survival rather than nest survival?

Special thanks to the hard working technicians!
