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.

Emergence, spread, and impact of high-pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Variation in Population Synchrony in a Multi-Species Seabird Community: Response to Changes in Predator Abundance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ecologically similar sympatric species, subject to typical environmental conditions, may be expected to exhibit synchronous temporal fluctuations in demographic parameters, while populations of dissimilar species might be expected to show less synchrony.

Adult survival of Arctic terns in the Canadian High Arctic
Polar Research, 2018 Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) populations are thought to be in decline across much of their range. For long-lived seabirds, determining adult survival rates is key to understanding current population trends and predicting trajectories.

Physiological characteristics of arctic tern Sterna paradisaea chicks in relation to egg volume
Polar Research, 1997 The effect of egg volume on body mass, body composition and growth rate in Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea chicks was studied at Ny-Ålesund, on Svalbard (78°55'N, 12°00'E), in order to investigate whether differences in egg size influence the physiological characteristics of the hatchlings.
