| To estimate the size of shorebird populations across the North American Arctic, and to monitor changes in their numbers over time. |
| We determined the frequencies of polyandrous mating and multiple paternity in the ruff, a lekking shorebird with a genetic dimorphism in male mating behavior. |
| The acanthocephalan worm normally completes its life cycle when the sand crab is eaten by a shorebird. |
| The project will affect only a very small proportion of the breeding shorebird population in the James Bay watersheds. |
| There is, however, a wide variety of breeding behaviour across the shorebird group. |
| For some shorebird species, such as willets and dunlin, we had diet data from BBH, although diets for several other species at this site are unknown. |
