Annual and seasonal variation in the food supply harvestable by knot Calidris canutus staging in the Wadden Sea in late summer

The biomass of the macrobenthic animals living in intertidal flats of the Wadden Sea varies annually and seasonally. However, the variation in prey biomass harvestable by wading birds such as knot Calidris canutus, which feed mainly on the middle range of their prey size classes, is even larger. The...
