Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

The effect of localized disturbance on the acoustic behavior of the common tern (Sterna hirundo) [PDF]

JASA Express Letters
In this study, passive acoustic monitoring was used to assess the impact of investigator disturbance on the acoustic behavior of a colony of common terns. A graded antipredator response in the colony was hypothesized, which would result in an increase in

Evidence of continued exposure to legacy persistent organic pollutants in threatened migratory common terns nesting in the Great Lakes

Environment International, 2020
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) accumulate in the food web of the Great Lakes ecosystem, causing concern that these chemicals play a role in the decline of avian species such as colonial-nesting waterbirds.

A comparison of methods for the long-term harness-based attachment of radio-transmitters to juvenile Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Animal Biotelemetry, 2021
Background While the period from fledging through first breeding for waterbird species such as terns (e.g., genus Sterna, Sternula) is of great interest to researchers and conservationists, this period remains understudied due in large part to the ...

Pelvic floor symptoms and quality of life 1 year postpartum in Swedish primiparous women—A follow‐up of a randomized controlled trial

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
In this follow‐up of a randomized controlled trial including 1911 primiparous women with a vaginal birth, minor and major second‐degree tears were not associated with pelvic floor dysfunction 1 year postpartum. OASI was associated with colorectal–anal symptoms, whereas episiotomy was associated with vaginal symptoms affecting body image.

Patterns in tern trophic diversity in a region experiencing rapid climate change

Ecosphere
Foraging plasticity provides a mechanism for long‐lived species to adapt to rapidly changing environments. When shifts in food availability occur, individual variation in plasticity can lead to an increase in within‐species trophic diversity.
