Pair bonds during the annual cycle of a long-distance migrant, the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) [PDF]
Avian Research, 2021 Background The extent to which pairs remain together during the annual cycle is a key question in the behavioural ecology of migratory birds. While a few species migrate and winter as family units, for most the extent to which breeding partners associate

Changes in organ size and nutrient reserves of arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) breeding near a High Arctic polynya [PDF]
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020 The arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a ubiquitous migratory seabird of the High Arctic, currently thought to be in decline in most of the circumpolar world, but surprisingly little is known of its biology at high latitudes.

Changes in Isotopic Niches across Stages of the Annual Cycle in the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea)
, 2018 Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) are iconic seabirds of polar latitudes, whose successful reproduction is thought to depend on local food supplies near breeding colonies.

Population Trends of Gulls and Arctic Terns Nesting in the Belcher Islands, Nunavut
, 1999 . Little information exists on the population trends of gulls and terns nesting in the Arctic. In 1997, we surveyed the number of glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus), herring gull (Larus argentatus), and arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) nests on the Belcher

Blood hemoglobin content and metabolic performance of Arctic Tern chicks Sterna paradisaea
, 1996 This study was designed to determine whether the development of an increased aerobic capacity (increased potential for oxygen uptake) during the initial growth stages of hatchlings is associated with an increase in blood hemoglobin content.

Postbreeding dispersal and staging of Common and Arctic Terns throughout the western North Atlantic
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2017 In the western North Atlantic, Common (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic (S. paradisaea) Terns are sympatric at breeding colonies but show divergent migration strategies to coastal areas of South America and pelagic regions of the Antarctic, respectively ...

Arctic tern migration : from individual variation to common flyways of trans-equatorial seabirds
, 2021 Arctic terns are iconic seabirds, famous for annual migrations between the Arctic and Antarctic. Recent assessment suggests they are one of the most vulnerable seabirds to climate change. Its wide geographical range hinders the detection of hazards faced

Variations in the Reproductive Activities of Arctic Terns at Churchill, Manitoba
, 1972 Nest locations and contents were observed in 16 colonies over a 3-year period. Laying times correlated with spring temperatures, but not with colony size. Clutch size increased with time between ice breakup and laying onset.
