Reproductive declines in an endangered seabird: cause for concern or signs of conservation success? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Collection and analysis of demographic data play a critical role in monitoring and management of endangered taxa. I analyzed long-term clutch size and fledgling productivity data for California least tern (Sternula antillarum browni), a federally ...

Breeding biology of the Atlantic Least Tern (Sternula antillarum antillarum) in a colony of the south of the Gulf of Mexico: new perspectives for its threat status

Revista Brasileira De Ornitologia, 2016
Although the Atlantic Least Tern ( Sternula antillarum antillarum ) faces the same threats that caused the California Least Tern ( S. antillarum browni ) and the Interior Least Tern ( S. antillarum athalassos ) to be declared threatened, it is considered as “Least concern” globally, mainly because of its wide geographic distribution ...

It's about time: A synthesis of changing phenology in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem. [PDF]

Fish Oceanogr, 2019
Abstract The timing of recurring biological and seasonal environmental events is changing on a global scale relative to temperature and other climate drivers. This study considers the Gulf of Maine ecosystem, a region of high social and ecological importance in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and synthesizes current knowledge of (a) key seasonal processes,

A case study of sea and shorebird breeding recovery following goat and cat eradication on Klein Curaçao, southern Caribbean

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023
Here, we document major seabird breeding recovery on a satellite island of Curaçao in the southern Caribbean following the removal of goats in 1997, significant reforestation from 2000–2005, and the extermination of cats in 2001. The only seabird to have

The need for constructing endangered fish habitats that conform to climate‐driven flow changes in a western U.S. river

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1084-1098, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Warmwater fish habitat in the San Juan River of the southwestern United States has been reduced by over 30% as a result of water depletion, reservoir inundation, and cold‐water dam releases combined with drought‐related changes in hydrology.

Conspecific density and habitat quality affect breeding habitat selection: Support for the social attraction hypothesis

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Breeding habitat selection is a critical component of the annual cycle because of its effect on fitness. Multiple theories of habitat selection can be differentiated by their responses to the quantity of habitat, conspecific density, and habitat quality.

Sound‐Side Inundation and Seaward Erosion of a Barrier Island During Hurricane Landfall

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 128, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Barrier islands are especially vulnerable to hurricanes and other large storms, owing to their mobile composition, low elevations, and detachment from the mainland. Conceptual models of barrier‐island evolution emphasize ocean‐side processes that drive landward migration through overwash, inlet migration, and aeolian transport. In contrast, we

Habitat‐specific behavior, growth rate, and survival of piping plover chicks in New Jersey, USA

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Anthropogenic disturbance has been demonstrated to affect the behavior of beach‐nesting birds, yet the energetic consequences of recreational activities have received less attention. Because precocial chicks are often displaced as a result of disturbance events, lower access to food may lead to lower fitness.
