Subspecific Status and Population Genetic Structure of Least Terns (Sternula antillarum) Inferred by Mitochondrial DNA Control-Region Sequences and Microsatellite DNA

The Auk, 2010
ABSTRACT. The taxonomic identity of endangered populations of the Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) has long been debated. Their current conservation status provides even more impetus to examine the taxonomic distinctness of these groups. We used rapidly evolving mitochondrial DNA control-region sequences (840 base pairs; n = 188) and microsatellite DNA

Characterizing Diet of the Least Tern <i>Sternula antillarum</i> using DNA Metabarcoding

Marine Ornithology
A complete picture of diet composition is an essential element to understanding the ecological role of organisms. Moreover, diet studies can serve as an important tool for monitoring species and changes to the food web. One method to provide resolution when studying the diet of avian species is DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples. As such, we used DNA

Distribution and Abundance of the Interior Population of the Least Tern (Sternula Antillarum), 2005; A Review of the First Complete Range-Wide Survey in the Context of Historic and Ongoing Monitoring Efforts [PDF]

, 2006
Abstract : The interior population of the Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) was added to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) list of threatened and endangered species in 1985 because of suspected low numbers and concerns about breeding season habitat loss or degradation on large interior rivers.
