Rice fields as alternative foraging grounds: Rising shorebird diversity and abundance despite declines in natural coastal wintering sites

This study investigates the extent to which shorebirds confront habitat degradation at the natural wetlands (mudflats, mangroves, sand beaches) by shifting to adjacent rice fields for foraging. Our results showed an overall decline in shorebird abundance across the southwest coast of India; however,...
