Breeding biology of the American Oystercatcher Haematopus palliatus on a key site for conservation in southern Brazil

The science we need for the beaches we want: frontiers of the flourishing Brazilian ecological sandy beach research

“…Studies were also spatially restricted to supratidal and intertidal zones, with only a few studies sampling the subtidal or the whole across-shore gradient (e.g., Corte et al, 2019;Corte et al, 2020;Corte et al, 2022).
