Exposure to mercury and Aroclor 1268 congeners in least terns (Sternula antillarum) in coastal Georgia, USA

Environmental Sciences: Processes and Impacts, 2015
We demonstrate the previously undocumented transport of a rare PCB mixture (Aroclor 1268) from a Superfund site in Georgia, and compare mercury loads among sample types, using least tern samples.

Eviction Notice: Observation of a Sterna hirundo (Common Tern) Usurping an Active Sternula antillarum (Least Tern) Nest

Northeastern Naturalist, 2019
Although nest usurpation is common in some species and orders of birds, usurpation has rarely been reported for Sterninae. We observed a Sterna hirundo (Common Tern) egg in an active Sternula antillarum (Least Tern) nest with a complete clutch in a mixed-species Sterninae colony in Chesapeake Bay, MD, in May 2018.

Breeding Colonies of Least Terns (Sternula antillarum) in Northern Sonora, Mexico, 2006–2008

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2012
Abstract We document distribution of breeding least terns (Sternula antillarum) in northern Sonora, Mexico, 2006–2008. We report breeding activity at six sites with active colonies, including three previously undocumented colonies.

Least Tern ( Sternula antillarum ) nest success and chick survival on the Missouri River following historic flooding

The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2018
ABSTRACT On the Missouri River, the federally endangered interior population of Least Terns (Sternula antillarum) historically nested on sandbars created by sediment deposited during high flows. The Missouri River has been dammed and regulated, however, resulting in decreased flooding and sediment deposition and thus decreased sandbar habitat. In 2011,

Usurpation of an Interior Least Tern (Sternula antillarum athalassos) Nest by Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus)

Waterbirds, 2018
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.

Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Population Response to Water Levels on Cheyenne River and Oahe Reservoir, South Dakota, USA

Waterbirds, 2018
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 ...
