Population Assessment of an Endangered Shorebird: the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus melodus) in Eastern Canada by Diane L. Amirault, Anna M. Calvert, François Shaffer, Richard Elliot, Alan Hanson, Julie McKnight, Philip D. Taylor

“…Differences in projected growth between regions appear to be driven by low estimated juvenile post-fledging survival in the Gulf, but threats to juveniles of both population segments following departure from nesting beaches remain unidentified. Similarly, λ in both population segments was particularly sensitive to changes in adult survival as expected for most migratory birds, but very little is understood about the threats to Piping Plover survival during migration and overwintering. …”

Role of nearshore benthic algae in the Lake Michigan silica cycle. by John A Berges, Allison M Driskill, Emily J Guinn, Kaytee Pokrzywinski, Jessica Quinlan, Benjamin von Korff, Erica B Young

“…To assess significance of nearshore benthic algae in Si dynamics, we assembled dSi data from an offshore site sampled since the late 1980's, and sampled off three Milwaukee beaches during 2005-19. Using colorimetric assays and alkaline digestion, we measured dSi, biogenic silica in particulate suspended material (pSi) and biogenic silica in benthic macroalgae (Cladophora) and epiphytic diatoms (bSi). …”

In situ Observations of Wave Transformation and Infragravity Bore Development Across Reef Flats of Varying Geomorphology by Olivia M. Cheriton, Curt D. Storlazzi, Kurt J. Rosenberger

“…Because similar IG wave motions over plane beaches enhance sea-swell (“SS,” period < 25 s) bore-merging in the surf zone, we posit that VLF waves over reef flats may facilitate IG bore merging, and this may lead to larger, more pitched-onshore bores at the shoreline. …”
