The 40 or so species of beach-loving plovers (genus Charadrius)
comprise a diverse group of shorebirds found around the world. Most
of these species are challenged by changing climates and other
human-related development activities, yet they provide key insights
into basic ecological and evolutionary processes. The expert
international contributors take a comparative approach, presenting
examples from many worldwide plover studies and synthesizing the
group's most pressing and important topics. The book further
presents an emphasis on full life-cycle biology, including the
importance of examining migratory connectivity issues, even for
non-migratory plovers. Color pages were planned and approved for
some pages in this volume, but due to a printing error some copies
have incorrectly been released with these pages printed in black
and white. Replacement copies with the correct color in place can
