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).

This study extends the search by testing for correlations between wing shape of Calidrissandpipers 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 Calidrissandpipers, 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 Calidrissandpiper species and 3 subspecies of C. canutus (canutus, islandica, and rufa).

Differential migratory timing of Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
I have used field, experimental and analytical approaches to address male-female differences in the southward migration of Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri).
In 2002, I captured 80 Western and Least Sandpipers and tested their escape maneuverability in an outdoor obstacle course.
Female-first temporal patterns in southward-migrating Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri).
See update (6 Aug 2005) at the end of the commentary section with a rather similar, albeit considerably longer-billed bird photographed in the Netherlands on 24 May 2001 by Norman Deans van Swelm.
This small Calidrissandpiper was photographed by Wayne Richardson on Marco Island, Florida, USA on 16 May 2005.
('Calidris cooperi') was described by Baird in 1858 based on a specimen collected on Long Island, New York, U.S.A. in May 1833.
The Petzl Calidris climbing harness is the ultimate go anywhere, do anything harness.
It offers a wide range of adjustability in both the waist and legs with little added bulk.
Two buckles (one on each side of the tie-in point) ensure that the tie-in point and equipment loops are always centered, so you feel secure in your harness.
Red-necked StintCalidris ruficollis, 15 July 2000, Pike's Beach near Cupsogue, Suffolk Co., New York, USA
Here are a handful of videograbs of an adult alternate-plumage Red-necked Stint (Calidris ruficollis) taken at Cupsogue Beach, Suffolk County, New York on Saturday 15 July 2000.
Unfortunately, some of the images are a bit dull and is due to the image capture process compounded by the heavy rain during the observations.
