Breeding biology of Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) in the Canadian High Arctic
Polar Biology, 2017The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a well-known polar seabird which breeds around the circumpolar Arctic, and which undertakes the longest known annual migration of any organism. Despite its familiarity, there is little information on its breeding biology in the High Arctic, an important baseline against which future studies of climate change ...

Dispersal and climate change: a case study of the Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea
Global Change Biology, 2006AbstractDispersal is an important evolutionary process that can affect admixture of populations and cause rapid responses to changing climatic conditions due to gene flow from populations at different altitudes or latitudes already experiencing these conditions.

Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea)
The Birds of North America Online, 2020Migration: The Arctic Tern is most numerous in fall, with up to 350 between San Diego and San Clemente Island 11 September 1976 (G. McCaskie). Fall records extend from 27 July (1968, one collected of seven seen 80 miles west of San Diego, SDNHM 36752) to

Inkubační chování rybáka dlouhoocasého na Špicberkách a rybáka jižního v Antarktidě bylo studováno vždy na dvojicí lokalit lišících se intenzitou antropogenního vyrušování a predačním tlakem. Analýza 24-hodinových video záznamů ukázala celkově nižší přítomnost na hnízdě, kratší inkubační směny, kratší celkový čas věnovaný spánku, kratší úseky spánku a ...

The fauna of parasites of Common (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic (Sterna paradisaea) terns obtained during the spring hunting period of 2013–2015 on the coast of Lake Ladoga has been studied. We found 15 species of parasites of various systematic groups: Cestoda (six species), Trematoda (four species), Nematoda (two species), Acanthocephala (two species ...

Responses of nesting Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) to disturbance by humans
Polar Biology, 2020Nesting birds often respond to human disturbance as to a predatory act. In the case of the high Arctic, the disturbance of incubating birds may bring further complications due to egg cooling. In addition, it is assumed that birds in the high Arctic are not shy and do not respond to human presence fearfully.

Residues of organochlorine chemicals (OC) including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) were analyzed by gas chromatography in carcasses of young arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) and common terns (Sterna hirundo). The birds found dead were collected in 1988 in a breeding colony of the German Wadden Sea.

Measuring the Daily Energy Expenditure of Free-Living Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea)
Auk, 1994Measurement of the energy expenditure of freeliving birds plays an important role in many kinds of ecological and behavioral studies. For example, the concept of reproductive effort has become central to the study of the limits to reproductive output and, in particular, to whether and how effort can affect survival, future breeding attempts, and ...

The influence of age on the breeding biology and survival of the Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea
Journal of Zoology, 2009The paper describes the influence of the age of Arctic terns on the breeding biology and postfledging survival. Some of the effects of a “red‐tide” on the terns are described.

An intensive migration of Arctic terns was observed from 7–9 March 1989 in Marguerite Bay (67°50'S 67°30'W). The movement pattern and speed of tern flocks were analysed from time-lapse films of a marine navigation radar. The terns migrated north at altitudes 30–60 m asl along the inner coast of Marguerite Bay. When approaching Pourquois Pas Island, the
