General macro-litter as a proxy for fishing lines, hooks and nets entrapping beach-nesting birds: Implications for clean-ups.
TL;DR: In this article , the accumulation pattern of both general beach litter and fishing lines, hooks and nets was analyzed on four central Italy beaches during a winter period, during which the entrapping litter was very low (<2.5 % of the general litter) and appeared directly correlated to the overall litter density, suggesting that an increase in general macro-litter should alarm those involved in the conservation of entanglement-sensitive bird species, such as plovers, suggest that they should implement highfrequency clean-up activities aimed at removing it.

Cages Mitigate Predation on Eggs of Threatened Shorebirds: A Manipulative-Control Study
TL;DR: The data suggest that the use of anti-predator cages significantly limits predation on eggs and therefore is likely to increase the hatching success in these ground-nesting birds independently in the seasonal period.
Monitoring Effectiveness of an Operational Project on Two Threatened Landbirds: Applying a Before–After Threat Analysis and Threat Reduction Assessment
TL;DR: In this article , two new approaches (TAN = Threat Analysis and TRA = Threat Reduction Assessment) aimed at assessing the effectiveness of conservation actions on two threatened beach-nesting landbird species, the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) and the Little Ringed Plover (C. dubius), breeding along a coastal beach of central Italy.
