Radio telemetry as an additional tool to study feeding behaviour of breeding Sandwich Tern and Common Tern in the shallow coastal zone of the Netherlands

open access: yes, 2010
A large-scale seaward extension of the Port of Rotterdam will cause a decline in feeding habitat for the internationally important populations of Sandwich Tern Thalasseus sandvicensis and Common Tern Sterna hirundo breeding in the N2000 SPA ‘Voordelta ...

New Microsatellite Markers for the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) Developed with 454 Shot-Gun Pyrosequencing

open access: yes, 2016
Long term studies, focusing on population- and socio-biology research, require the unequivocal identification of individuals. DNA studies with Short Tandem Repeats (STR loci) became a widespread tool in population genetics.

Breeding Success of the Common Tern on the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1961 and 1962

open access: yes, 1964
Colonies of the common tern, Sterna hirundo, occur on many of the small islands off the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In 1961 and 1962 the author had the opportunity to observe a number of colonies near the mouth of the Nabisipi River, 50° ...

Inter-annual variation of the dietary composition in Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea

open access: yes, 2017
Across the North-East Atlantic, including the North Sea, seabird numbers are decreasing. Crucial factors are industrial fishery, predation, climate change and most importantly fluctuations in food availability.

Promoting Change in Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) Nest Site Selection to Minimize Construction Related Disturbance.

open access: yes, 2019
Due to the many challenges facing waterbird populations (Jia et al. 2018, Wetlands International 2018), it has become common practice to limit disturbance to breeding colonies whenever possible to maximize reproductive success.

Tests of Three Hypotheses of Hatching Asynchrony in the Common Tern

open access: yes, 1990
We examined three hypotheses concerning hatching asynchrony in the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo). Survival of third-hatching C-chicks was significantly lower than that of A- and B-chicks in broods of three.
