assessment of bioavailable hydrocarbons in pribilof island rock sandpiper fall staging areas and overwintering habitat.	at present, significant adverse hydrocarbon influence on the pribilof island rock sandpiper (calidris ptilocnemis ptilocnemis) is unlikely. almost the entire population overwinters in cook inlet and breeds on four bering sea islands. passive samplers deployed several times in a three year period and corresponding sediment and soft tissue samples on st. paul island and in cook inlet generally accumulated small quantities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs). composition was consistent with ...	2016	27342900
ways to be different: foraging adaptations that facilitate higher intake rates in a northerly wintering shorebird compared with a low-latitude conspecific.	at what phenotypic level do closely related subspecies that live in different environments differ with respect to food detection, ingestion and processing? this question motivated an experimental study on rock sandpipers (calidris ptilocnemis). the species' nonbreeding range spans 20 deg of latitude, the extremes of which are inhabited by two subspecies: c. p. ptilocnemis that winters primarily in upper cook inlet, alaska (61°n) and c. p. tschuktschorum that overlaps slightly with c. p. ptilocne ...	2015	25714569
