Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus) Science Article 4 abstract The distribution and feeding range of Herring Gulls and Lesser Black-backed Gulls breeding on the Dutch Wadden Sea islands were assessed, using the results of ship-based surveys in the southern North Sea. The occurrence of both species in association with commercial fishing vessels is described in […]

Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus) Science Article 1 abstract For birds that breed in large colonies, the overall area occupied by the colony generally comprises several sub-areas that di.er in physical and social features such as vegetation and breeding density. Birds arriving at a breeding colony select their nesting sites through a hierarchical process of […]

Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus) Science Article 3 abstract In northern Norway, Larus fuscus fuscus feeds mainly offshore on the wing on pelagic fish and fishery discards. It avoids competition with other large gulls for concentrated stationary food sources such as garbage dumps and fish-factories. It is also inferior to the Herring Gull L. argentatus […]

Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus) Science Article 2 abstract Empirical evidence is growing that the offspring sex ratio in birds can be biased in relation to the body condition of parents during breeding. The sex ratio bias may come about because (1) the actual production of the two sexes may be skewed and/or (2) there […]

Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Science Article 1 abstract Local populations of the endangered interior least tern (Sterna antillarum) nestwithin riverine and alkaline flat habitats of the central United States. We summarizedestimates of survival for egg, chick, fledgling, subadult (

Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Science Article 5 abstract Predation is difficult to observe and quantification of impacts have consequentlybeen difficult, especially for predators active at night. Using night-capable camerasplaced throughout a California least tern (Sternula antillarum browni) colony I examinedrates of predation by a complex of potential predators. I identified and quantified directand indirect effects […]

Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Science Article 4 abstract The Atlantic race of the Least Tern (Sterna antillarum antillarum) breeds along the coastal beaches and bay systems of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico from Maine to southern Texas, while the Interior Least Tern (S. a. athalassos) breeds in the interior of the United States […]

Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Science Article 2 abstract DNA sequence variation from two nuclear introns and part of the mitochondrial cytochromebgenewere used to evaluate population structure among three subspecies of Least Tern that nest in the United States (California[Sterna antillarum browni], Interior [S. a. athalassos], Eastern [S. a. antillarum]). Sequence variation was highestfor nuclear intron […]

Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) Science Article 3 abstract The annual hydrograph of large rivers, including flood pulses and low-flow periods, is believed to play a primary rolein the productivity of biota associated with these ecosystems. We investigated the relationship between riverhydrology and Interior least tern (Sterna antillarum) reproductive success on the Lower Mississippi River from […]
