From Mono Lake to Mar Chiquita: A Future for Phalaropes and Saline Lakes by Ryan Carle

Wilson's and Red-necked Phalaropes are tiny, charismatic shorebirds that rely on saline lakes as their most critical gas stations on their epic migration to South America. Saline lakes are threatened worldwide by water diversion and climate change, and presumably phalaropes are threatened along with them. Oikonos Ecosystem Knowledge Science Director Ryan Carle discusses recent efforts to close the gaps in our understanding of phalaropes' ecology and conservation status, and conservation actions needed to ensure a future for the phalaropes and people that depend on saline lakes.
