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.

Emergence of novel highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in slender-billed gulls (Chroicocephalus genei) and gull-billed terns (Gelochelidon nilotica) at Dukan Lake, Iraq [PDF]

Open Veterinary Journal
Background: Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 has continued to result in severe mortalities among wild birds globally. Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the mass mortality in Slender-billed Gulls (Chroicocephalus genei) and Gull-

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife [PDF]

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2190-2213, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers [PDF]

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The arctic tern Sterna paradisaea completes the longest known annual return migration on Earth, traveling between breeding sites in the northern arctic and temperate regions and survival/molt areas in the Antarctic pack‐ice zone.

Distribution of avifauna on twenty-one islands of the Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2023
Every research endeavour must start with closing the information gap about species distribution and biodiversity systematically. Even though enough avifaunal research has been done on the Gulf of Mannar, southeastern India, there have been limited ...

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 ...
