Sibling competition in common tern Sterna hirundo chicks: underlying hormonal and behavioural patterns and mechanisms [PDF]
, 2008 In avian young that are dependent on parental food provisioning, brood size and corresponding sibling competition are key environmental factors affecting present performance, future developmental trajectories, and ultimately fitness. I studied the effect

Patterns in tern trophic diversity in a region experiencing rapid climate change
EcosphereForaging 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.
