News authored by Tamás Székely and Vojtěch Kubelka: Sex role evolution: testing the impacts of ecology, demography and genes Sex roles (i.e., courtship, competition for mates, pair bonding and parenting) are among the most diverse social behaviour.

PhD position in shorebird migration physiology
28 January 2019
Posted by Phil Battley: Last Date to Apply: 11 February 2019 We are looking for a PhD student to study aspects of the physiology of Bar-tailed Godwits as they prepare to and recover from migration. This is a unique opportunity to get insight into a truly epic migrant (making flights of 7-10 days duration). The specifics of the project can be developed, but would focus on the regulation of fuel delivery and antioxidation systems in godwits, principally through cross-sectional sampling of

In this issue of Wader Study, Churchwell and colleagues take a closer look at how storms affect shorebirds. Specifically, they

What we do

The International Wader Study Group facilitates:

  • contact between both amateurs and professionals studying waders or shorebirds;
  • organisation of co-operative studies and projects;
  • vehicles for exchange of information on waders and their biology.

Details on our aims and objectives can be found here.
