Figure 1 in Fledgling on board: a review of over-water offspring ferrying behaviour in waterbirds and its potential ecological correlates
Figure 1. Three distantly related waterbirds (ie A, common loon; B, red-necked grebe; C, common merganser) that regularly carry their young on their backs ('ferrying'). These individuals represent the independent evolution of this trait among the Gaviidae, Podicipedidae, and Anatidae. Photographs were taken and generously provided by L. Grenzer, M. Gold, and D. Campbell via Macaulay Library (ML588526171), respectively.

Figure 2. Concise phylogeny of Neognathae depicting ferrying avian taxa (Kuhl et al. 2021). Bolded families are those that have species exhibiting ferrying.
Population genetics informs the management of a controversial Australian waterbird
<p>Widespread degradation across Australia's inland wetland network has contributed to severe declines for many waterbird species. In contrast, breeding colonies of the Australian white ibis (<em>Threskiornis molucca)</em> have increased in urbanised areas along the coast, but the level of dispersal and gene flow between inland and coastal areas remain unknown. This study uses single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to ascertain the variables influencing genetic connectivity among several inland and urban colonies of white ibis across south-eastern Australia between 2015 and 2018. The contemporary effective population size was estimated, and this value was used in simulations to evaluate the impact of various management scenarios on future genetic diversity. We found no significant differences in allele frequencies between localities, or robust evidence of site fidelity, therefore suggesting widespread dispersal and gene flow between inland and urban colonies. Furthermore, effective sizes were large enough to maintain genetic diversity into the future under various realistic management scenarios. However, the lack of genetic partitioning found suggests that urban management of the ibis should not be undertaken in isolation of the conservation requirements of inland colonies.</p>

Data for: Waterbird abundance in aquaculture ponds: the significance of day and night and pond type
<p><span>The loss of coastal wetlands represents a grave threat to waterbirds, prompting the use of artificial wetlands, such as aquaculture ponds, as a means of conservation. Aquaculture ponds are common in coastal areas and provide production value and ecological function as waterbird habitats. However, certain piscivorous birds may cause economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Different types of ponds provide habitat for various bird assemblages, and waterbirds exhibit nocturnal feeding behavior and utilize habitats distinct from those used during the day. Most waterbird surveys were conducted during the daytime, limiting our understanding of their nocturnal habitat utilization. This study conducted diurnal and nocturnal surveys on shorebirds, waterfowl, and Black-crowned Night Heron (<em>Nycticorax</em> <em>nycticorax</em>) ten times in three aquaculture ponds situated in the Cigu District of Tainan, namely fish/shrimp, hard clam, and abandoned ponds between October 2021 and November 2022. The results showed no significant difference in shorebird density between day and night. However, shorebird density in fish/shrimp ponds was the highest and significantly higher than in abandoned ponds. Conversely, waterfowl density exhibits a significant increase in abandoned ponds compared to the other two pond types, irrespective of diurnal or nocturnal conditions. Furthermore, waterfowl density in abandoned ponds is significantly higher during daylight hours compared to the nocturnal period. In the daytime, the density of night herons was significantly higher in abandoned ponds than in the other two ponds. Nevertheless, during nighttime hours, fish/shrimp ponds exhibit the highest density of Black-crowned Night Herons, significantly surpassing that found in hard clam ponds. Notably, water coverage also influences the density of both shorebirds and waterfowl. The foraging frequency of waterfowl and night herons was greater during nocturnal hours, while shorebirds did not exhibit significant variations between day and night. Consequently, this study underscores the significance of considering both diurnal and nocturnal habitats in formulating strategies for waterbird conservation.</span></p>
