Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The arctic tern Sterna paradisaea completes the longest known annual return migration on Earth, traveling between breeding sites in the northern arctic and temperate regions and survival/molt areas in the Antarctic pack‐ice zone.

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 769-781, July 2026.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...

A photographic approach to monitor spatial dynamics and population trends of Arctic Tern colonies in two touristic bird watching spots in the Westfjords, Iceland

Avocetta
This study examines the population dynamics and spatial distribution of Arctic Terns in two tourist sites in Iceland's Westfjords: Vigur Island and Súðavík. In 2023, counts revealed 458 terns in Súðavík and 991 in Vigur. We propose a monitoring approach

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

How a Winner Can Also Be a Loser? At‐Sea Vulnerability of a Critically Endangered Endemic Seabird to Climate Change

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The last decades have been marked by a global decline of many migratory species, and predictions are even more alarming when climate change is considered. We investigated the migration patterns and marine habitat selection processes of a critically endangered endemic seabird of the tropical western Indian Ocean, and projected future ...

The influence of environmental conditions on the selection of spring migration routes by caribou

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Animal migrations influence key ecological processes such as predator–prey dynamics, nutrient and energy cycling, and community structure. Long‐distance migrations are declining worldwide, and a better understanding of the factors influencing animal space use during migrations is essential to maintain this behavior in the wild.

Nest-site habitat partitioning by Arctic, Common, and Roseate terns

Avian Conservation and Ecology
When closely related species that share aspects of their habitat niches nest in sympatry, selection is expected to favor species-specific differences in nest-site selection that allow birds to partition habitat. We tested habitat-partitioning theory in a

Niche partitioning of Common terns (Sterna hirundo), Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea), and Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) in the Gulf of Maine, USA.

, 2023
The Gulf of Maine is a temperate semi-enclosed ecosystem characterized by high productivity and serving as an important seasonal foraging and breeding area for nesting seabirds, migratory fish, and marine mammals (Yakola et al., 2021). Seabirds provide a

Arctic‐breeding black‐legged kittiwakes show individual variation in foraging responses to glacial conditions without consequences for reproductive output

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Behavioural plasticity is likely to influence how individuals continue to access resources under rapid climate change. Plasticity will be particularly important at highly dynamic, prey‐rich foraging areas such as upwelling fronts of marine‐terminating glaciers in the high Arctic, where profitability varies significantly across space and time ...
