THE ONTOGENY OF POSTCRANIAL INTEGRATION IN THE COMMON TERN,STERNA HIRUNDO [PDF]

Evolution, 1993
Empirical and theoretical work supports the concept that developmentally or functionally related characters tend to covary and hence evolve together. However, the dynamics of the developmental processes that establish within population covariance structures are not well understood.

Does the vicinity of the Black-Headed Gull colony (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) increase the breeding success of the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) on the islands of the middle Vistula?

Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2018
We conducted our study in the Common Tern colony (STH) located on an island in the middle Vistula River course, at the height of the city of Dęblin (km 393–394 of the waterway), in 2017.

Abundance and prey capture success of Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) and Pied Kingfishers (Ceryle rudis) in relation to water clarity in south-east coastal Ghana

Avian Research, 2018
Background Water clarity may negatively influence rate of plunge diving and prey capture success of piscivorous plunge-diving birds, and therefore has implications for their conservation in polluted urban wetlands.
