Constraints and strategies of long-distance migratory shorebirds along the east Asian-Australasian flyway

This thesis uses relatively large intra-specific (Ruddy Turnstone [Arenaria interpres]) and inter-specific (seven shorebird species along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway) datasets to analyse thus far largely unexplored aspects of the migratory behaviour of these shorebirds.

Description
Summary:This thesis uses relatively large intra-specific (Ruddy Turnstone [Arenaria interpres]) and inter-specific (seven shorebird species along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway) datasets to analyse thus far largely unexplored aspects of the migratory behaviour of these shorebirds. It identfied that body size and season played a key role in shaping migratory behaviours.
