European Rabbits as Potential Least Tern Nest Predators

Northeastern Naturalist, 2011
Abstract After the complete destruction of a Sterna antillarum (Least Lern) nesting colony on Lovells Island in Boston Harbor in 2007, we set remote-sensing cameras over artificial tern nests in an effort to identify potential nest predators.

Refined Colorimetry Validates Endangered Subspecies of the Least Tern

(1992), refined colorimetry validates three subspecies of Least Tern in North America, Sterna antillarum antillarum (Lesson), S. a. browni Mearns, and S. a. athalassos Burleigh and Lowery. Four of nine color characters exhibited significant seasonal differences, presumably a result of plumage wear and ...

Environmental contaminants in eggs of California least terns (Sterna antillarum browni)

A severe decline in the coastal breeding population of California least terns (Sterna antillarum browni) in California and Baja California prompted both State and Federal governments to designate it an endangered species in 1970. Significant losses of nesting and feeding habitat have contributed greatly to the decline of this subspecies.
