Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves

Type species
Tringa calidris[1] = Tringa canutus

Gmelin, 1789

Calidris is a genus of Arctic-breeding, strongly migratory wading birds in the family Scolopacidae. These birds form huge mixed flocks on coasts and estuaries in winter. Migratory shorebirds are shown to have decline in reproductive traits because of temporal changes of their breeding seasons.[2] They are the typical "sandpipers", small to medium-sized, long-winged and relatively short-billed.

Their bills have sensitive tips which contain numerous corpuscles of Herbst. This enables the birds to locate buried prey items, which they typically seek with restless running and probing.[3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genus Calidris was introduced in 1804 by the German naturalist Blasius Merrem with the red knot as the type species.[4][5] The genus name is from Ancient Greek kalidrisorskalidris, a term used by Aristotle for some grey-coloured waterside birds.[6]

The genus contain 24 species:[7]
