The riddle of the sands: why are shorebird densities so high in southern estuaries?
Article Abstract:
The connection between bird density and energy consumption, intertidal foraging area and latitude was analyzed in a study of migratory waders in the non-breeding season at 31 coastal wetlands in the western Palearctic and Ethiopian estuaries. A high correlation between wader density and population energy was found at each location. This relation increased from northern to southern latitudes and was not dependent on wetland size. Wader communities were observed to maintain carrying levels of coastal wetlands over a broad latitudinal expanse.
