Migration routes and non-breeding areas of Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) from the Azores [PDF]

, 2015
We describe the migration routes and non-breeding areas of Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) from the Azores Archipelago, based on ringing (banding) recoveries and tracking of three birds using geolocators.

Parental Age Effects on Offspring Telomere Length Across Vertebrates: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Telomeres shorten with advancing age in numerous species, and shorter telomeres are linked to increased mortality risk. While parental age at conception can influence offspring telomere length, the magnitude and direction of this effect differ across studies, species, and parental sexes.

The effect of localized disturbance on the acoustic behavior of the common tern (Sterna hirundo) [PDF]

JASA Express Letters
In this study, passive acoustic monitoring was used to assess the impact of investigator disturbance on the acoustic behavior of a colony of common terns. A graded antipredator response in the colony was hypothesized, which would result in an increase in
