Prey distribution, physical habitat features, and guild traits interact to produce contrasting shorebird assemblages among foraging patches.
Worldwide declines in shorebird populations, driven largely by habitat loss and degradation, motivate environmental managers to preserve and restore the critical coastal habitats on which these birds depend. Effective habitat management requires an understanding of the factors that determine habitat...
