摘要: Abstract. The population decline of the Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) along Pacific coast U.S., has been attributed, in part, to spread European beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria), which degrades nesting habitats. We compared Ammophila cover at plover's courtship scrapes and nest sites with that random locations coastal northern California. around nests was significantly less than points several spatial scales (≤100 m) analysis; also scrapes. Incubating plovers ceased incubation left when an observer approached within a mean distance 80 ± 33 m (n = 8). conclude selection open habitats for may facilitate early detection predators. Our results indicate minimum size restoration projects fencing should be placed ameliorate effects human disturbance on incubating pl...
