metal levels in shorebird feathers and blood during migration through delaware bay.	we investigated levels of arsenic mercury, lead, cadmium, and chromium in red knot (calidris canutus), semipalmated sandpipers (calidris pusilla), and sanderling (calidris alba) migrating through delaware bay, new jersey to determine if contaminant levels are likely to be causing negative effects on the populations of these shorebirds, to compare among species, and to explore differences among individuals collected early and late during their migration stopover. we analyzed blood and feathers, b ...	2017	28444421
spring migration stopover ecology of avian influenza virus shorebird hosts at delaware bay.	although low pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (lpaiv) are detected in shorebirds at delaware bay annually, little is known about affected species habitat preferences or the movement patterns that might influence virus transmission and spread. during the 5-wk spring migration stopover period during 2007-2008, we conducted a radiotelemetry study of often-infected ruddy turnstones (arenaria interpres morinella; n = 60) and rarely infected sanderlings (calidris alba; n = 20) to identify locatio ...	2016	27309084
