Parental Provisioning in an Urban Apex Predator. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe combine high‐definition webcams and citizen science to explore parental care in urban peregrine falcons from 30 locations across England between 2020 and 2023. By analysing detailed webcam footage, we quantified changes in prey type and delivery rates as chicks developed.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Usurpation and Brooding of Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Chicks by Common Terns (Sterna hirundo)
Diversity, 2023 While nest usurpation and subsequent incubation of eggs and even brooding of chicks from other species has been reported for Common Terns (Sterna hirundo), such behavior is considered rare.

Estimating epidemiological parameters of highly pathogenic avian influenza in common terns using exact Bayesian inference. [PDF]
J Anim EcolStatistical methodology was developed to understand key processes driving avian influenza in a seabird colony. Using common tern mortality data, it was shown that bird‐to‐bird transmission dominates environmental contamination, with mortality reducing between subsequent outbreaks in 2022 and 2023. Immunity and colony density were highlighted as factors

Seabird metapopulations: searching for alternative breeding habitats [PDF]
, 2009 Today, many seabird species nest in port areas, which are also necessary for human economic activity. In this paper, we evaluate, using a metapopulation model, the possibilities for creating alternative breeding sites for the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)

A Practical Method to Assess Bird Strike Risk in Air Operations Using a Count-Based Risk Mitigation Tool. [PDF]
Risk AnalABSTRACT Bird strikes pose a risk to aviation. Collisions between birds and airplanes result in a threat to human lives, economic losses, and material damage. The majority of these collisions occur on airfields during takeoff and landing. Knowing what bird species are present on airfields, in what numbers, and relating that to the extent to which these
