  Calidrid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are a number of species closely related to the calidrids which are included in the list.
It is likely that future research will also result in either the incorporation of Aphriza, Limicola and Eurynorhynchus back into Calidris, or else the break-up of Calidris into several smaller genera (Crocethia for Sanderling, and Erolia for most of the small species).

 Auk, The: Relationship of Calidris sandpiper wing shape with relative fuel load and total migration distance
This study extends the search by testing for correlations between wing shape of Calidris sandpipers and a traditional migratory variable (total migration distance) as well as a novel variable (relative fuel load).
I examine the correlation between wing shape in Calidris sandpipers, a group of highly migratory birds with worldwide distribution and similar foraging and courtship behaviors, and three variables: two migratory flight variables and predation risk.
Lengths of eight distal primary feathers were measured (to 0.01 cm with vernier callipers) on the right wing of 2 to 26 museum skins of 8 Calidris sandpiper species and 3 subspecies of C. canutus (canutus, islandica, and rufa).
