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.

Paralytic shellfish toxins associated with Arctic Tern mortalities in Alaska [PDF]
Harmful Algae, 2022 Harmful algal blooms produce biotoxins that can injure or kill fish, wildlife, and humans. These blooms occur naturally but have intensified in many locations globally due to recent climatic changes, including ocean warming. Such changes are especially pronounced in northern regions, where the effects of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) on marine ...

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 ...

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 ...

Adult survival of Arctic terns in the Canadian High Arctic
Polar Research, 2018 Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) populations are thought to be in decline across much of their range. For long-lived seabirds, determining adult survival rates is key to understanding current population trends and predicting trajectories.

Variation in Population Synchrony in a Multi-Species Seabird Community: Response to Changes in Predator Abundance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ecologically similar sympatric species, subject to typical environmental conditions, may be expected to exhibit synchronous temporal fluctuations in demographic parameters, while populations of dissimilar species might be expected to show less synchrony.
