TL;DR: Assessment of population trends of shorebird taxa that refuel on Yellow Sea tidal mudflats suggests that changes in stopover habitat can severely limit migratory populations.

TL;DR: Substantially heterogeneous trends within Australia, combined with declines of inland resident shorebirds indicate effective management of Australian shorebird habitat remains important, and reinforces the need for urgent overseas conservation actions.
Phenology of southward migration of shorebirds in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway and inferences about stop-over strategies

TL;DR: Estimating passage dates of 28 species of shorebird from count data at 15 sites to infer their migration strategies, using Thompson's modelling approach suggests that larger species in this Flyway depend on a small number of staging sites, whereas smaller species migrate in shorter steps and require additional staging sites between the northern Yellow Sea and Australasia.
