LEAST TERN CHICK SURVIVAL ON THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Journal of Field Ornithology, 2000 Accurate population models for the endangered Interior Least Tern (Sterna antillarum) cannot be generated without age-specific survival estimates. Our purpose was to estimate chick survival from hatching to fledging, for Least Terns nesting at two sites on the Lower Mississippi River in Missouri, using mark-recapture methodology.
