Nest-site selection by adult laughing gulls (Larus atricilla)
TLDR
The overall viewpoint generated by this study is that laughing gulls first space their nests because adults orient to precise features of the environment; then, further spacing may depend upon a bird's response to its neighbours.About:

Breeding adaptations of Franklin's gull (larus pipixcan) to a marsh habitat***
TL;DR: Individual recognition between parents and chicks appeared later in this species than in ground-nesting gulls, and the breeding chronology of Franklin's gull is compressed when compared to that of other gulls.

The role of reproductive success in colony-site selection and abandonment in black skimmers (rynchops niger)
TL;DR: Examination of colony-site tenacity and reproductive success in 19 colonies of Black Skimmers in New Jersey concluded that tenacity has evolved under conditions of stability, while species nesting in unstable habitats show less fidelity to colony sites, shift- ing sites as the environments change.

Indirect Effects of Feral Horses on Estuarine Communities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the indirect effects of horse-grazed marshes on salt marsh ecosystems by altering the habitat, making it more or less suitable for species that potentially occur there.

Colony Formation in Seabirds
TL;DR: The processes of how colonies form and function have been investigated emphasizing two distinct points of view: the phylogeny of coloniality—the formation of colonies in context of evolutionary processes; the ontogeny of colonies during the season of reproduction.

TL;DR: 2-(Trifluoromethyl)methanesulfonanilides substituted in the para position by methylthio,methylsulfinyl or methylsulfonyl groups and horticulturally acceptable salts thereof and composition containing these compounds are useful herbicides.
