Calibrating the telomere clock in common terns, Sterna hirundo
Experimental Gerontology, 2003Field biologists often work with animals for which there are no prior history. A marker of an animal's age would offer insight into how age and experience affect reproductive success and other life history parameters. We previously reported that length of telomere restriction fragments shorten predictably with age in the captive zebra finch ...

Nocturnal behaviour of breeding Common terns
Ethology Ecology & EvolutionBreeding Common terns Sterna hirundo typically remain at the colony at night, yet nocturnal colony desertion may occur due to predation, nocturnal foraging, or prospecting. We used GPS telemetry data to investigate nocturnal colony attendance and movements of Common terns at multiple freshwater and marine colonies.

Biometrics and Primary Molt of Common Tern and Sandwich Tern in Autumn in Puck Bay, Southern Baltic
Waterbirds, 2007Data were collected at one of the important stop-over sites in the southern Baltic between 1989 and 1995. Sandwich Terns were not only more advanced in primary molt than Common Terns, but also replaced their flight feathers faster due to larger number of primaries growing simultaneously. All caught adult Sandwich Terns were in active molt, whereas over

Test for age-specificity in survival of the common tern
Journal of Applied Statistics, 2002Much effort in life-history theory has been addressed to the dependence of life-history traits on age, especially the phenomenon of senescence and its evolution. Although senescent declines in survival are well documented in humans and in domestic and laboratory animals, evidence for their occurrence and importance in wild animal species remains ...

Effects of a rabbit on nesting common terns
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1979Reproductive biology of common terns (Sterna hirundo) was studied at an insular breakwater site at Port Colborne, Ontario in 1976 and 1977. The unusual occurrence of an eastern cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus) in the ternery in 1977 disrupted nesting activity and nocturnal incubation attentiveness.
