TLDR
It is concluded that future combining of colony observations and GPS-loggers deployments can potentially provide a near complete insight into the feeding ecology of breeding Sandwich Terns, including the behaviour of birds at sea.About:

GPS telemetry for small seabirds: using hidden Markov models to infer foraging behaviour of Common Diving Petrels (Pelecanoides urinatrix urinatrix)
Jingjing Zhang,Matt J. Rayner,Matt J. Rayner,Shae Vickers,Todd J. Landers,Todd J. Landers,Rachael L. Sagar,John Stewart,Brendon Dunphy +8 more
TL;DR: Common Diving Petrels (Pelecanoides urinatrix URINATrix) are distributed widely around coastal New Zealand and breed primarily on predator-free offshore islands as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faecal samples reveal the diet of breeding adult Sandwich terns Thalasseus sandvicensis in Belgium and the southern part of the Netherlands
TL;DR: Breeding adult Sandwich terns in the study area proved to be very specialistic with only three prey types frequently found in their diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behaviour related flight speeds of Sandwich Terns and their implications for wind farm collision rate modelling and impact assessment
Ruben Fijn,Abel Gyimesi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used GPS-loggers on Sandwich Terns to collect data on instantaneous flight speeds during foraging trips, separated for different behavioural stages, and applied these estimates in a widely used collision rate model.

Assessing the exposure to human and veterinary pharmaceuticals in waterbirds: The use of feathers for monitoring antidepressants and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Gabriele Giuseppe Distefano,Roberta Zangrando,Marco Basso,Lucio Panzarin,Andrea Gambaro,Annamaria Volpi Ghirardini,Marco Picone +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the presence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and noradrenaline reuptate inhibitors (SNRIs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen, in the feathers of fledglings of both the Mediterranean gull and Sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis) was detected.

Occurrence of rare earth elements in fledgelings of Thalasseus sandvicensis.
Marco Picone,Gabriele Giuseppe Distefano,Fabiana Corami,Piero Franzoi,Simone Redolfi Bristol,Marco Basso,Lucio Panzarin,Annamaria Volpi Ghirardini +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the concentrations of rare earth elements (REEs) in feathers of young Sandwich tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis) about 16-20 days old to assess whether the accumulation of these elements may be a concern in Venice's Lagoon, one of the most important wetlands of the Mediterranean area for breeding and migrating birds.

Kernel methods for estimating the utilization distribution in home-range studies
TL;DR: Kernel methods are of flexible form and can be used where simple parametric models are found to be inappropriate or difficult to specify and give alternative approaches to the Anderson (1982) Fourier transform methods.

Analysis of Animal Space Use and Movements
TL;DR: This chapter provides a discussion of modeling animal movements using a combination of advanced descriptive and visualization approaches, general movement models, and biological models, to examine the key factors determining why and how an animal uses space.
