1. Each year, many species of shorebirds migrate from locations in the Southern Hemisphere to their breeding grounds in the Arctic; a journey of thousands of kilometres that requires frequent stops to fuel up. 

 

2. The risk of death is significant, and the Arctic is an inhospitable region for most of the year, yet the shorebirds never fail to make their annual pilgrimage.

 

3. Continuing on to the north requires more fuel and carries an even greater risk of mortality. 

 

4. The most likely reason certain shorebirds head to the high Arctic is to escape their predators.

 

5. A four-year study by a team of Canadian scientists, headed by student Laura McKinnon of the
Université du Québec, provides evidence in support of this hypothesis. 

 

6. The scientists created artificial nests that resembled a typical shorebird’s nest. 

 

7. Then each year, during the shorebirds’ breeding season, forty of the nests were placed in each of seven locations that ranged in latitude from the low Arctic to the high Arctic.

8. Each nest had been baited with four quail eggs, which are similar in size and shape to a shorebird’s eggs.

9. The scientists returned to the nests many times over nine days to check how many eggs remained in the nests.

 

10. A nest was said to have survived if, at the end of the nine days, it contained at least one undisturbed quail egg.
