Nest-site habitat partitioning by Arctic, Common, and Roseate terns
Avian Conservation and EcologyWhen closely related species that share aspects of their habitat niches nest in sympatry, selection is expected to favor species-specific differences in nest-site selection that allow birds to partition habitat. We tested habitat-partitioning theory in a
