Upland Sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda) Science Article 1 abstract Since 1968, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) has developed and refined wildlife species assessments to formulate management goals, objectives, and strategic plans. Assessments are based upon available information and the judgments of professional wildlife biologists responsible for individual species or groups of species. […]

Migration and morphometrics of Temminck’s StintCalidris temminckii at Ottenby, southern Sweden
Temmincks Stint (Calidris temminckii) Science Article 1 abstract Data are reported from 55 years of ringing and observation on the migration of Temminck’s Stint Calidristemminckii at Ottenby Bird Observatory, Sweden. Numbers ringed have declined since the 1940s due tohigh numbers caught in 1948 and 1949. Thereafter there is no clear trend. The overall autumn migrationdirection […]
BREEDING HABITS OF THE SOLITARY SANDPIPER
Solitary Sandpiper (Tringa solitaria) Science Article 1 abstract EARLY this spring I became aware of the fact that at least one pair of Sandpipers, different from the Spotted Sandpipers, which breed commonly on Simcoe Island, had taken up their residence there.

Migration pattern of Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago on Dravsko polje,NE Slovenia
Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) Science Article 5 abstract In Europe, wader migration has been studied intensively onthe East Atlantic Flyway (Piersma et al. 1987), especiallythat of particular species (e.g. Gromadzka 1987, Piersma1987, Ens et al. 1990, Ens et al. 1994).

Identification of Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago flyways in theWestern Palearctic by analysis of ringing recoveries and genetic studies
Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) Science Article 4 abstract The Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago is a common and widely distributed species in the Western Palearctic. It is mostly migratory in Europe, although those breeding in Ireland, UK and maritime countries of Western Europe are only partially migratory or sedentary(Cramp & Simmons 1983). There are major gaps in […]
Biometrics, length of stay and body mass increase of migrating Common Snipes Gallinago gallinago in the Gulf of Gdansk
Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) Science Article 3 abstract Between 1983 and 2000, a total of 1774 Common Snipes were caught and measured in the Gulf, of Gdansk at the Polish Baltic Sea coast. The mean measurements obtained in this study werelarger than those provided by other authors. Reasons of this difference are discussed. Among linear measurements […]
Different migration strategies used by two inland wader species during autumn migration, case of Wood Sandpiper Tringa glareola and Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago
Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) Science Article 2 abstract Waders generally follow two alternative strategies.The ‘B-strategy’ or ‘energy minimization’ strategy is to initiate migration late in the season, start moulting at the breeding grounds and migrate slowly in small steps, whereas the ‘S-strategy’ or ‘time minimization’istomigrateimmediatelyaftertheendofthebreedingperiodandmoulton the wintering grounds after a migration with only a few stopover […]
A new insight into the ageing of Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago-the value of contrast within the wing coverts of adults.
Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) Science Article 1 abstract The ageing criteria for Common Snipe Gallinago gallinago are complex, and a significant proportion of birds in autumn which have completed moult cannot be aged. Jeziorsko Reservoir is an important stopover site for Common Snipe during autumn migration through central Poland. Detailed studies of wing coverts show that […]
Adaptive seasonal trend in brood sex ratio: test in two sisterspecies with contrasting breeding systems
Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) Science Article 1 abstract Evolutionary theory predicts adaptive adjustment in offspring sex ratio by females. Seasonal change in sex ratio is one possibility, tested here in two sister species, the Common sandpiper and the Spotted sandpiper Actitis hypoleucos and A. macularia. In the monogamous Common sandpiper, males are the most competitive sex. […]
Stopover ecology and divers migratory strategies use in the Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos)
Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) Science Article 2 abstract Obtain information about the stopover ecology of the Common Sandpiper, to identify the divers estategies used by juvenile and adults and its contribution to the differential migration as well as try to explain the differences in the results of studies realized in the coast and interior.
