Tracking of Arctic ternsSterna paradisaeareveals longest animal migration [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 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 ternSterna paradisaeais the epitome of such behavior; despite its small size (<125 g), banding recoveries and at-sea surveys suggest that its annual migration from boreal and high Arctic breeding ...

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 ...

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020 The arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a ubiquitous migratory seabird of the High Arctic, currently thought to be in decline in most of the circumpolar world, but surprisingly little is known of its biology at high latitudes.

Animal Migration, 2015 AbstractIdentification and characterization of seasonal migration routes and stopover sites has been recognized as important to the conservation of migratory species. This project utilizes multiple regression models including circular-linear regression to identify associations between route choice, travel speed, and environmental preferences using ...

New records and a review of the distribution of the Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea Pontoppidan, 1763 (Aves: Sternidae) in Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2012 We report new records of the Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea Pontoppidan, 1763 for the coast of Rio Grande do Sul, southernmost Brazil. Birds were in first alternate plumage, apparently overwintering in the region.

Assessing regional populations of ground-nesting marine birds in the Canadian High Arctic [PDF]
Polar Research, 2015 The Queens Channel region of Nunavut is an ecologically distinct area within the Canadian High Arctic consisting of an extensive archipelago of small, low-lying gravel islands throughout which form several localized but highly productive polynyas.

Diet dichotomy between two migrant seabirds breeding near a high Arctic polynya [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 High Arctic polynyas are predictable areas of open water, which offer long-distance migrant seabirds a reliable source of food during a period when they have to replenish and accumulate energy for reproduction.

Pair bonds during the annual cycle of a long-distance migrant, the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea)
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
