Nest-site habitat partitioning by Arctic, Common, and Roseate terns

Avian Conservation and Ecology
When closely related species that share aspects of their habitat niches nest in sympatry, selection is expected to favor species-specific differences in nest-site selection that allow birds to partition habitat. We tested habitat-partitioning theory in a

Seabird metapopulations: searching for alternative breeding habitats [PDF]

, 2009
Today, many seabird species nest in port areas, which are also necessary for human economic activity. In this paper, we evaluate, using a metapopulation model, the possibilities for creating alternative breeding sites for the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)
