Book excerpt: For more than twenty years the authors studied the complex breeding and social behavior of colonies of terns. A significant dynamic of their social behavior is their “mobbing” behavior when they aggressively defend their nests against predators and will attack intruders, including human beings. Analysis of this and other behaviors as they affect breeding and population provide fascinating insights in the study of birds.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patterns of habitat use do not necessarily reveal optimal choice, so habitat selection studies should relate habitat use to reproductive success to reveal processes critical to the evolution of habitat choice behaviour. In Lobster Bay, Nova Scotia, I conducted a study of habitat use and selection by Common Terns (Sterna hirundo), Arctic Terns (S. paradisaea), and Roseate Terns (S. dougallii) at two spatial scales: 1) island-level selection, and 2) nest-site selection. For four years and across 97 similar islands, the absence of trees was the most important factor predicting island use by terns and used islands were also generally less elevated than those not used. I studied the amount of lateral cover, the number of different sized rocks, and the amount of inter and intraspecific nest density from 292 nests in a colony of Common, Arctic, and Roseate Terns. I examined whether the species partitioned habitat at a fine spatial scale and I compared these characteristics between used sites and available sites and between successful and unsuccessful nests for each species. My results indicated that all three species partitioned habitat based on physical characteristics like lateral cover and large rocks and biological features (nearby density of nesting terns). I found that high lateral cover was an important feature for nest site selection of both Common Terns and Roseate Terns. Common Terns had higher nest success with greater interspecific nest density (i.e. density of Roseate and Arctic tern nests) within 2 m, possibly via reduced predation pressure by gulls (Larus spp.) in areas with dense tern nesting. A similar trend was observed for Roseate and Arctic terns, although it was much less pronounced than in Common Terns. Overall, my results suggest that mixed species colonies of terns can provide fitness advantages to each species, and that Common, Arctic, and Roseate Terns nesting in the Northwest Atlantic have evolved habitat preferences that serve to reduce competition in dense colonies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book is divided into several parts. An introductory chapter serves to make the reader aware of the diversity of the subject of habitat selection in birds. Many if the various aspects of habitat selection introduced in the first chapter are developed in subsequent chapters, and thus it serves to some extent as an overview of the subject and as a "lead-in" to subsequent work.
