Abstract

345 The eastern curlew is far behind other waders with respect to the number of references in the recent orni� thological literature (Thomas et al., 2003), remaining among the least studied species of the genus. Before the start of our research, only nine findings of nests were known from the southern part of the recent spe� cies range (the Amur River Basin), and specific bio� logical features of this bird were fragmentarily described in 24 publications (for review, see Antonov, 2009). Being listed in the Red Data Book of the Rus� sian Federation since 1997, N. madagascarensis was unexpectedly excluded from the IUCN Red Data List, which is evidence that the study of the species biology is an acute problem. The responses of N. madagasca� rensis populations to anthropogenic transformations of landscapes remain unknown. This study was performed in different areas of the
