This book was released on 2001 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Plains population of piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) was listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1985. Extensive international censuses in 1991 and 1996 indicated that the population had declined to approximately 1,500 breeding pairs. Demographic simulation models supported that conclusion. Predator exclusion techniques are used to increase reproductive success rates in plovers, but the most cost-efficient strategy of applying the techniques and the number of protected pairs necessary to prevent further population declines were unknown. We used optimization and simulation modeling to account for demographic and economic factors in a comprehensive analysis of population recovery feasibility for piping plovers in the Great Plains. We revised an existing demographic simulation model to incorporate different reproductive success rates in the 2 main breeding habitats (i.e., those associated with rivers and those that are not). We used a mark-recapture analysis to estimate plover survival rates and compiled baseline plover fledging rates from many sources of data. We also estimated fledging rates under 5 types of predator exclusion and calculated the costs of applying them. We developed an optimization model to define management strategies that would maximize fledging rates within a budgetary constraint or minimize costs within the demographic constraint of stabilizing the population size. Mean annual adult survival was 0.737 (SE = 0.092) with a temporal variance of 0.040-0.045. The immature survival estimate was 0.318 (SE = 0.075), but we used 0.48 in our simulations. Baseline fledging rates were 0.73 (SE = 0.21) at rivers and reservoirs and 0.89 (SE = 0.10) fledglings/pair at non-river sites (i.e., alkaline wetlands). Predator exclusion increased local fledging rates to 1.15-2.25 and cost $180-$231/pair each year. Baseline population simulations indicated a mean annual growth rate of 6.2%/yr. Protecting approximately 51% of plover pairs resulted in a maximum mean fledging rate of 1.18, a growth rate of 2.0%/yr, and population recovery in 49 years at a cost of $13.1 million. Stabilizing the population required a mean fledging rate of 1.10 and protection of approximately 30% of pairs at a cost of $101,000/yr. Therefore, recovery of the population is demographically and economically feasible, but a range-wide management plan for piping plovers in the Great Plains is needed to foster the cooperation necessary to implement optimal predator exclusion strategies. A comprehensive management plan, however, also should address the many other factors that potentially limit the Great Plains population of piping plovers.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The piping plover (Charadrius melodus) is a federally listed species with three distinct breeding populations, including Great Plains (threatened), Great Lakes (endangered), and Atlantic Coast (threatened), all of which winter along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. I studied the winter ecology of the piping plovers on Little St. Simons Island (LSSI), Georgia, from 2003-2006, with emphasis on the conservation significance of this site for the endangered Great Lakes population. During 2003-2004 and 2004-2005, LSSI supported up to 100 piping plovers during peak migration, and approximately 40 birds wintered at this site. All populations had similar patterns of arrival, departure, and winter residence times on the island. Of the color-banded plovers observed on LSSI during 2003-2004, 35% were observed the following year; 69% of plovers that wintered inn 2003-2004 returned to winter 2004-2005. Wintering plovers show high site fidelity to particular beaches on LSSI within years. Foraging success of piping plovers was highest (35.3% of foraging maneuvers) on beaches adjacent to the Altamaha River at the north end of the island. This area also had a different sediment composition (more coarse silt and very fine sand) and greater prey abundance (Nereis sp.) than other parts of the island. My results suggest that LSSI is one of the most important wintering sites on the Atlantic coast for the piping plover, especially the endangered Great Lakes population. All breeding populations of piping plovers have similar patterns of temporal occurrence on LSSI, suggesting no need for population-specific management plans at this site. My data on site fidelity and foraging success suggest that relatively small areas on LSSI may be of disproportionate importance to wintering piping plovers. Critical habitat designations should take account of this winter-island variation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The piping plover is a small shorebird that is listed as endangered in Alberta because of low population size, threats to habitat, and an inability of existing management to increase population levels. This document presents a plan for recovery of the Alberta piping plover population. It begins with an action statement & information on the recovery team, then reviews the breeding biology and the population distribution & trends of the piping plover in Alberta. Factors limiting the population of the species are discussed, such as predation and human disturbance. Finally, the strategy & action plan for recovery of the species is set out, including guiding principles, recovery goals, habitat protection & enhancement, productivity enhancement, public awareness & education, and research. A plan implementation & cost schedule is included.
