Mixed evidence for effects of stewardship on Least Tern reproductive success in coastal Mississippi

The Condor, 2020
Disturbance from human activity can cause reduced productivity of coastal birds that nest on sandy beaches. A common method to protect coastal birds from human disturbance is the use of signs and fencing to close off a section of beach used for breeding.

Eviction Notice: Observation of a Sterna hirundo (Common Tern) Usurping an Active Sternula antillarum (Least Tern) Nest

Northeastern Naturalist, 2019
Although nest usurpation is common in some species and orders of birds, usurpation has rarely been reported for Sterninae. We observed a Sterna hirundo (Common Tern) egg in an active Sternula antillarum (Least Tern) nest with a complete clutch in a mixed-

Metapopulation Dynamics of the California Least Tern

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2003
The California least tern (Sterna antillarum browni) is federally listed as an endangered species. Its nesting habitat has been degraded, and many colony sites are vulnerable to predation and human disturbance. We examined a metapopulation model for the California least tern that can be used to predict persistence of populations along the Pacific coast

Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) Hatch a Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Egg in a Mixed Clutch at Fire Island, NY

Northeastern Naturalist
- During the summers of 2019–2022 on Fire Island, NY, we observed 3 instances of Charadrius melodus (Piping Plover) incubating Sternula antillarum (Least Tern) eggs within mixed clutches, including a nest where the incubating plovers hatched chicks of ...

Characterizing Diet of the Least Tern Sternula antillarum using DNA Metabarcoding

Marine Ornithology
A complete picture of diet composition is an essential element to understanding the ecological role of organisms. Moreover, diet studies can serve as an important tool for monitoring species and changes to the food web.

Usurpation of an Interior Least Tern (Sternula antillarum athalassos) Nest by Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus)

Waterbirds (De Leon Springs, Fla.), 2018
Nest usurpation is a strategy in which an individual or pair of one species takes over the nest of another species. This is the first documented occurrence of a Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) pair usurping an Interior Least Tern (Sternula antillarum ...

Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Population Response to Water Levels on Cheyenne River and Oahe Reservoir, South Dakota, USA

Waterbirds (De Leon Springs, Fla.), 2018
. Consideration of annual population count data, stream flows, water levels, and nesting habitat availability over a 29-year period suggest that Least Terns (Sternula antillarum athalossos) nesting along the Cheyenne River and Oahe Reservoir in South ...

Site Fidelity of Least Terns in California

The Condor, 1988
The degree to which Least Terns (Sterna antillarum) exhibit year-to-year fidelity to particular colony sites, as well as fidelity toward their natal colony sites, was examined using banding recoveries obtained in California. Individuals had high rates of return to colony sites where they had nested during the preceding year; of those few birds that ...
