Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The arctic tern Sterna paradisaea completes the longest known annual return migration on Earth, traveling between breeding sites in the northern arctic and temperate regions and survival/molt areas in the Antarctic pack‐ice zone.

The complete mitochondrial genome of record-breaking migrant Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) base composition, codon usage, and genome arrangement patterns can provide insight into metabolic pathways and evolutionary history.

Inuit knowledge of Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) and perspectives on declining abundance in southeastern Hudson Bay, Canada. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea; takatakiaq in Inuttitut) breeds in the circumpolar Arctic and undertakes the longest known annual migration. In recent decades, Arctic Tern populations have been declining in some parts of their range, and this has ...

Developing a Fecal DNA Method With Blocking Primers to Determine Red Knots' (<i>Calidris canutus</i>) Diets Noninvasively. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The blocking primer suppressed Red Knot DNA while improving detection of other prey taxa. We detected horseshoe crab in the Fall fecal samples, suggesting their use goes beyond the spring migration period of the Red Knots. ABSTRACT Understanding the diets of migratory shorebirds such as the Red Knot (Calidris canutus) is essential for evaluating ...

Arctic tern flyways and the changing Atlantic Ocean wind patterns

Climate Change Ecology, 2023
Migratory bird trajectories are the result of their own speed and direction in combination with wind speed and direction. Several studies have focused on the interplay between bird migration and general wind patterns, however, the majority of them did ...

Natal Versus Breeding Dispersal in Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea): A Banding Study From Denmark (1931–2005) [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We summarise Denmark's long historical dispersal events, understanding their directional, distance and regional flow characteristics. Comparing natal dispersals and breeding dispersals, provides insights for further research. ABSTRACT The dispersal of migratory birds is a crucial process that directly influences population viability, genetic ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Variable spatial management implications based on different seabird distribution and diversity metrics [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract As resource managers strive to balance marine ecosystem health and services with diverse ocean uses, the spatial and temporal dynamics of species distributions—and their overlap with both static and dynamic human activities—should be carefully considered.

Avian influenza overview June-August 2026. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Between 5 June and 28 August 2026, 110 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) virus detections were reported in domestic (7) and wild (103) birds in 12 countries in Europe. The number of detections remained at a seasonal low throughout the summer, continuing the decline observed since spring.
