Variation in space use between sites, years and individuals for an endangered migratory shorebird has implications for coastal planning Open
Much of the annual cycle of threatened migratory shorebirds is spent in non‐breeding areas, but there have been few studies on how that habitat is used at fine‐scale. Tracking data from 13 endangered far eastern curlews at three Australian…

Monitoring threats to Australian threatened birds: climate change was the biggest threat in 2020 with minimal progress on its management Open
Most biodiversity monitoring globally tends to concentrate on trends in species’ populations and ranges rather than on threats and their management. Here we review the estimated impact of threats and the extent to which their management is…
