The Cost of Urban Expansion: Habitat Loss and Shifting Distribution of Long-Legged Wading Birds in a Peri-Urban landscape gradient

2025-08-21

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Urbanisation, a key indicator of socioeconomic development, often comes at the cost of natural habitats, particularly in peri-urban wetlands. Human-influenced wetlands may refuge diverse avian species, but the extent of their effectiveness remains uncertain. Ardeidae species are often considered effective bioindicators of wetland health, due to their high mobility and dependence on wetl...
