Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Elegant terns Thalasseus elegans breed in a very limited area of the northern Gulf of California and the Pacific coast of southern California, with up to 95% (mean 78%, 1991–2014, Perez et al., 2020) of the population nesting on Isla Rasa in the northern

Movements of post-breeding royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) in Virginia, U.S.A [PDF]
PeerJSeabirds use a variety of strategies to maximize survival during migration. We studied the post-incubation movements of royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) from the largest seabird colony in Virginia, U.S.A. to understand their behaviors after nesting.

Geolocator study reveals east African migration route of Central European Common Terns
Avian Research, 2020 Background The majority of European Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) migrate south along the western coast of Europe and Africa, while birds from eastern regions are known to cross the Mediterranean Sea from east to west or migrate along the eastern African

Foraging plasticity in seabirds: A non-invasive study of the diet of greater crested terns breeding in the Benguela region. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Marine predators, such as seabirds, are useful indicators of marine ecosystem functioning. In particular, seabird diet may reflect variability in food-web composition due to natural or human-induced environmental change. Diet monitoring programmes, which

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We collected data on mass mortality in Sandwich terns (Thalasseus sandvicensis) during the 2022 breeding season in the Netherlands. Mortality was associated with at least 2 variants of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus clade 2.3.4.4b.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022 Ingestion of microplastics has been documented across marine species, but exposure remains sparsely described in many seabird species. We assess microplastic (between 0.2 and 5.0 mm) ingestion in two Northwestern Atantic - breeding species for which ...
