Eastern Canada piping plover banding summary / Diane L. Amirault, François Shaffer and Jennifer Stewart.: CW69-5/458E-PDF
"The need for a Piping Plover banding study became evident in the early 1990s, when several years of good productivity (greater than 1.5 chicks fledged per pair) suggested that an increase in regional population numbers could be expected. However, the regional population declined by approximately 17% between the two International Censuses, conducted in 1991 and 1996. The eastern Canada Piping Plover population was the only population that did not increase over that five-year period. In 1998, a research program was initiated to answer key questions related to survival, dispersal, and other population dynamics of eastern Canadian Piping Plovers. This report summarizes the banding protocol and effort and study areas of this research program"--Abstract, p. iii.
