Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal declines in reproductive success of the common tern Sterna hirundo: timing or parental quality?
TL;DR: Differences in chick growth and survival suggest that higher quality adults may be able to compensate for the disadvantages of late hatching dates and achieve similar reproductive success to that of pairs hatching chicks early, as well as supporting the parental quality hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of stable isotopes to investigate individual differences in diets and mercury exposures among common terns Sterna hirundo in breeding and wintering grounds
TL;DR: The findings suggest that high individual exposure of common terns to Hg results from consumption of inshore prey at low trophic levels in restricted parts of Buzzards Bay and that members of pairs have similar diets in the breeding season but not in winter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Threats to public health from gulls (Laridae)
TL;DR: Gulls have a world‐wide distribution but are more common in temperate regions and increasing numbers of gulls occupy urban areas so that there are chances for fecal contamination, and the greatest threats to public health arise when gulls feed at such sites and then visit reservoirs of potable water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and Performance of Common Terns in Old and Newly-established Colonies
TL;DR: Common Terns breeding at the new colony on Penikese Island were significantly younger and laid later, had higher productivity and higher chick growth rates than those at the old colony on Bird Island, and feeding rates were highest and foraging trip times for all types of prey were shortest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related changes in efficiency among breeding Common Terns Sterna hirundo: measurement of energy expenditure using doubly-labelled water
TL;DR: Investigation of differences in reproductive efficiency among birds of different ages found efficiency in the use of time and energy was low in the youngest breeding males, increased thereafter to peak at about 12 years of age, but appeared to decline again amongst the oldest breeding males.
