Abstract Nest usurpation is a strategy in which an individual or pair of one species takes over the nest of another species. This is the first documented occurrence of a Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) pair usurping an Interior Least Tern (Sternula antillarum athalassos) nest.

The Auk, 2013
Abstract. Nest-habitat selection in colonial species has rarely been assessed at multiple spatial scales to evaluate its fitness consequences. Management for the federally endangered U.S. Interior population of Least Terns (Sternula antillarum) has focused on maintenance of breeding habitats, including mechanical construction of sandbars from dredged ...

Consideration of annual population count data, stream flows, water levels, and nesting habitat availability over a 29-year period suggest that Least Terns (Sternula antillarum athalossos) nesting along the Cheyenne River and Oahe Reservoir in South Dakota, USA, select areas primarily in response to reservoir water levels early in the breeding season ...

Notes on the breeding status of Least Tern (<em>Sternula antillarum</em>) on St. Kitts, West Indies
Journal of Caribbean Ornithology, 2013Abstract: The breeding population of the Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) in the Caribbean is small and requires monitoring due to anthropogenic disturbances of fragile marine and terrestrial ecosystems. In 2006 and 2007, surveys were conducted of all historical colony sites on the South East Peninsula salt pond system and along beaches during the ...

Many bird species of conservation concern have behavioral or morphological traits that make it difficult for researchers to determine if the birds have been uniquely marked. Those traits can also increase the difficulty for researchers to decipher those markers.

Ornithological Applications
ABSTRACT We tested the behavioral responses of breeding Sternula antillarum (Least Terns) to pedestrians and off-road vehicles and showed that disturbance source, intra-colony characteristics, and environmental factors all influenced the distance at which the birds were disturbed, as well as the duration of their response.
