1 Introduction Wetlands are one of the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems on Earth (Mitsch and Gosselink 2015). Yet, over 70% of the world's wetlands have been lost in the last century (Davidson 2014), and an additional wetland loss of ~78% is projected by the end of the 21st century (Spencer et al. 2016). Migratory waterbirds are particularly vulnerable to wetland loss (Maclean et al. 2008; Steen, Skagen, and Noon 2014; Zurell et al. 2018).
