Differences in sperm swimming speed and morphology between the three genetic morphs in the ruff sandpiper

M. Bulla, C. Küpper, D. B. Lank, J. Albrechtova, J. L. Loveland, K. Martin, K. Teltscher, M. Cragnolini, M. Lierz, T. Albrecht, W. Forstmeier, B. Kempenaers

The paper compares sperm swimming speed and morphology among three genetic morphs of ruff sandpipers and finds Faeder sperm are slowest, but Independent sperm do not show expected higher quality.

Dispersal in Kentish plovers (Charadrius alexandrinus): Adult females perform furthest movements

D. V. Cimiotti, L. J. Eberhart-Phillips, A. Audevard, P. J. G. S. Joan Garcias Salas, G. Gelinaud, K. Günther, A. Rocha, R. Schulz, J. van der Winden, H. Schmaljohann, C. Küpper

This study finds that adult female Kentish plovers disperse further than males during breeding seasons, with some individuals traveling over 1,700 km, highlighting the species' dispersive behavior and its implications for conservation.

Egg size variation in the context of polyandry: a case study using long-term field data from snowy plovers

L. J. Eberhart-Hertel, L. Falcao Rodrigues, J. Krietsch, A. G. Eberhart-Hertel, M. Cruz-Lopez, K. A. Vazquez-Rojas, E. Gonzalez-Medina, J. Schroeder, C. Küpper

This study examines how egg size and mating behavior relate in snowy plovers, finding that polyandrous females breed earlier and lay smaller eggs, but egg size reduction does not confer a competitive advantage.

Fluffy feathers: how neoptile feathers contribute to camouflage in precocial chicks

V. A. Rohr, T. Volkmer, D. Metzler, C. Küpper

This study investigates how neoptile feathers contribute to camouflage in precocial chicks by diffusing outlines through edge intensity reduction and luminance transitions.

CeutaOPEN: Individual-based field observations of breeding snowy plovers Charadrius nivosus

L. J. Eberhart-Phillips, M. Cruz-Lopez, L. Lozano-Angulo, S. Gomez del Angel, W. Rojas-Abreu, C. Küpper

The paper presents a database of reproductive ecology data for 1,600 individually marked snowy plovers monitored over 10 years, providing insights into their morphological, behavioural, and population dynamics.
