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 ...

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1991
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.

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 ...

Significant decline observed in Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea population in northwest Greenland
Seabird Journal, 2017Arctic Terns Sterna paradisaea are an understudied species in Greenland. Outside of the largest colonies, little is known about their current population status and no long-term annual monitoring program has been established. Previous surveys outside of key breeding colonies have been limited to a small number of colonies for single-season studies. This

The influence of age on the breeding biology and survival of the Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea
Journal of Zoology, 1976The 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.

Dispersal and climate change: a case study of the Arctic ternSterna 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.

A change in clutch size in the Arctic Tern Sterna paradisaea in the northern Baltic
1992The modal clutch size in Arctic Terns breeding on the southern coast of Finland was observed to differ from that reported in previous studies. In 1989 and 1990, the frequency of 3-egg clutches was 60% and 45%, respectively in one study colony, and 61 % and 54% in another colony.
