Arctic Terns are THE ultimate migratory species, travelling further than any other. Some birds travel more than 100,000 km in a single year. Breeding across a broad latitudinal range all around the Arctic, birds range widely. In an effort to gain insight into how individual birds migrate, how populations are connected on a global scale and how they use habitat, we present the most comprehensive tracking study to date on this iconic species.
This project was years in the making and working with all of these amazing folks was truly a gift. Read the paper here, in the latest issue of Marine Ecology Progress Series.
