Movements of post-breeding royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) in Virginia, U.S.A [PDF]

PeerJ
Seabirds 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.

Decline of novel ecosystems used by endangered species: the case of piping plovers, least terns, and aggregate mines

Ecosphere, 2021
Sand and gravel mining creates novel ecosystems along the Platte, Loup, and Elkhorn rivers in Nebraska, USA. Piping plovers and least terns are state and/or federally threatened and endangered species, respectively, that nest and raise young at these ...

Population Growth and Long-Distance Vagrancy Leads to Colonization of Europe by Elegant Terns Thalasseus elegans

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

Variation in isotopic niche partitioning between adult roseate and common terns in the Northwest Atlantic

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Co-occurring species with similar resource requirements often partition ecological niches at different spatial and temporal scales. In the Northwest Atlantic (NWA), federally endangered roseate terns Sterna dougallii nest almost exclusively in coastal ...
