Inuit knowledge of Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) and perspectives on declining abundance in southeastern Hudson Bay, Canada. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea; takatakiaq in Inuttitut) breeds in the circumpolar Arctic and undertakes the longest known annual migration. In recent decades, Arctic Tern populations have been declining in some parts of their range, and this has ...

Pair bonds during the annual cycle of a long-distance migrant, the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) [PDF]
Avian Research, 2021 Background The extent to which pairs remain together during the annual cycle is a key question in the behavioural ecology of migratory birds. While a few species migrate and winter as family units, for most the extent to which breeding partners associate

Tracking of Arctic terns Sterna paradisaea reveals longest animal migration. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2010 The study of long-distance migration provides insights into the habits and performance of organisms at the limit of their physical abilities. The Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea is the epitome of such behavior; despite its small size (

Oxidative physiology of two small and highly migratory Arctic seabirds: Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) and long-tailed jaegers (Stercorarius longicaudus). [PDF]
Conserv Physiol, 2023 We present the first oxidative physiology values of two species of conservation need, Arctic terns and long-tailed jaegers. Both migrate long distances after nesting on tundra, a habitat impacted by climate change.
