| habitat deterioration and efficiency of antipredator strategy in a meadow-breeding wader, temminck's stint (calidris temminckii). | many populations of waders breeding on open shores and shores with short vegetation especially on the baltic coasts have recently become endangered. the declines have taken place simultaneously with human-induced loss and deterioration of habitats due to eutrophication and overgrowth. to investigate mechanisms by which habitat changes could affect breeding success and ultimately population dynamics, we studied an endangered coastal population of temminck's stint. we hypothesized that the rate of ... | 1998 | 28308066 |
