Pied Avocets(Recurvirostra avosetta)are common migratory shorebirds in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway.From 2019 to 2021,GPS/GSM transmitters were used to track 40 Pied Avocets nesting in northern Bohai Bay to ide...
Many studies have demonstrated that some of the activities of people can disturb nesting and foraging birds, particularly along coasts and estuaries. Some managers respond to human disturbance of sensitive species by ...
