ABSTRACT Aim We develop and test a cost framework to simulate the flyways of migratory seabirds, considering various environmental factors such as wind support, crosswind, travel distance, and food availability. Using this framework, we simulate potential migratory flyways for arctic terns and compare these simulations with tracking data. Our aim is to

Phenological mismatch has been highlighted as a reason why climate change is causing declines of migratory populations. The likelihood of declines due to phenological mismatch might depend on what cues trigger migration. Migrants that use environmental cues (e.g.

Upwind or downwind: the spring arrival of Arctic TernsSterna paradisaeaat Troms, north Norway [PDF]
This study was funded by Tromso University Museum. I also thank members of the local branch of the Norwegian Ornithological Society and members of the public who reported arrival dates to me or to www.artsobservasjoner.no. Without them this study would have been impossible.

COVER PHOTO: Rapid ocean warming in the Gulf of Maine drives shifts in the availability of preferred seabird prey, including herring (Clupea spp. or Alosa spp.) and hake (Urophycis spp.). Some terns in this region will provision their chicks with terrestrial insects when marine resources become scarce. Gownaris et al.

Importance of marine prey to growth of estuarine tern chicks: evidence from an energetic balance model [PDF]
We assessed the effects of quality and quantity of prey species on the growth of Little Tern Sterna albifrons chicks raised in salinas (salt-pans), Algarve, Portugal. An energetic balance model was developed, which estimated the total amount of energy
