Distribution and breeding of the slender-billed gull Chroicocephalus genei, common tern Sterna hirundo and little tern Sternula albifrons in Algeria

, 2018
The knowledge of the breeding ecology of terns and gulls in the Maghreb lags far behind that of other species. In this paper, we present data on the distribution and breeding of three species, Slender-billed Gull Chroicocephalus genei, Little Tern ...

Age dependent reproductive effort in great tits

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Senescence, the decline in reproductive value with age, is well documented in natural systems, but the underlying mechanisms remain an enigma. A decline in parental effort with age potentially explains reproductive senescence, but age effects on parental effort have been little investigated.

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.

Using Historic and Contemporary Genomes to Assess the Genetic Consequences of a Population Decline in an Endangered Tern Population

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Many migratory species have experienced severe population declines, but the genetic consequences of such declines are still rarely assessed. The last Central European population of gull‐billed terns (Gelochelidon nilotica) has declined from 500 breeding pairs in the 1940s to 52 in 2025, whereas Mediterranean populations of this migratory ...

Abundance, population trends, and negative associations with lake water levels for six colonial waterbird species over five decades in southern Manitoba

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2021
Management of colonial waterbirds at regional, national, and continental scales requires up-to-date monitoring information on breeding locations, population sizes, and trends.

Natal philopatry, dispersal and age of first breeding in relation to size and sex of Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea)

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 79-94, January 2026.
Many seabird species are in decline and population demographic models are important for revealing the causes and developing conservation strategies. Natal and breeding dispersal are key parameters of such models but can be challenging to estimate and may vary by sex.

Post-breeding movements of Common Terns Sterna hirundo in Croatia

, 2023
After breeding, long-distance migrants may either immediately depart for autumn migration, or spend a pre-migration period during which they disperse over various distances, or even stay in the breeding area.
