First observations of Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) eggs and other breeding observations on the island of O‘ahu, Hawai‘i [PDF]
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2021 The Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) commonly breeds along coastal beaches and major interior rivers of North America and the Caribbean. Least Terns have been observed in Hawai‘i since the 1970s; however, few breeding attempts have been documented. Nests

History, distribution, and seasonal abundance of the Least Tern Sternula antillarum (Aves: Charadriiformes: Sternidae) in Brazil [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2013 We review existing data on the distribution of the Least Tern, Sternula antillarum along the Brazilian coast, based on the literature and museum specimens, and present results of a year-long study (October 2008 to September 2009) on the seasonal ...

Machine and deep learning approaches to understand and predict habitat suitability for seabird breeding. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Understanding seabird breeding habitat selection and suitability is often complex due to the integration of land and sea features across multiple spatial scales. A complementarity approach between convolutional neural network (CNN) and random forest (RF) models was applied to predict and explain the selection pattern of tropical larids breeding ...

Avian eggshell thickness in relation to egg morphometrics, embryonic development, and mercury contamination. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 We measured eggshell thickness at the egg equator and the egg poles for 12 avian species, and related eggshell thickness to egg morphometrics, embryonic development, egg status, and mercury contamination. Our study also provides a review of all existing eggshell thickness data for these 12 species.

Applying cumulative effects to strategically advance large-scale ecosystem restoration. [PDF]
Front Ecol Environ, 2020 International efforts to restore degraded ecosystems will continue to expand over the coming decades, yet the factors contributing to the effectiveness of long‐term restoration across large areas remain largely unexplored. At large scales, outcomes are more complex and synergistic than the additive impacts of individual restoration projects.

Interspecies conflict, precarious reasoning, and the gull problem in the Gulf of Maine. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Contemporary conservation science requires mediating conflicts among nonhuman species, but the grounds for favoring one species over another can be unclear. We examined the premises through which wildlife managers picked sides in an interspecies conflict: seabird conservation in the Gulf of Maine (GOM).

Interior Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) breeding distribution and ecology: implications for population-level studies and the evaluation of alternative management strategies on large, regulated rivers. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2013 AbstractInterior Least Terns (Sternula antillarum) (ILT) are colonial, fish‐eating birds that breed within active channels of large sand bed rivers of the Great Plains and in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Multipurpose dams, irrigation structures, and engineered navigation systems have been present on these rivers for many decades.

Lessons from the Tōhoku tsunami: A model for island avifauna conservation prioritization. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 We describe tsunami inundation of four islands within the largest conservation area in the United States following the 11 March 2011 earthquake off the Tōhoku coast of Japan. The extent of sudden flooding ranged from 21% to 100% of island area, occurred at night during the peak of nesting for 14 species.
