Sexing Arctic Terns in the field and laboratory

CM Devlin, AW Diamond, GW Saunders - Waterbirds, 2004‏ - BioOne
We examined sexual size dimorphism of Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) from a breeding
colony in northeastern North America. Each bird was sexed using DNA extracted from …

Predicting the sex of Parasitic Jaegers by discriminant analysis

RA Phillips, RW Furness - Colonial waterbirds, 1997‏ - JSTOR
Males and females of many avian species may show no plumage dimorphism, but often can
be sexed by Discriminant Analysis on the basis of differences in morphometric variables. In …

Sex Determination of Great Black-Backed Gulls Using Morphometric Characters (Determinación del Sexo en Individuos de la Gaviota Larus maximus Utilizando …

K Mawhinney, T Diamond - Journal of Field Ornithology, 1999‏ - JSTOR

Supply and demand: causes and consequences of assortative mating in common terns Sterna hirundo

SC Ludwig, PH Becker - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2008‏ - Springer
Although assortative mating is widespread among long-lived monogamous birds, the
underlying mechanisms still remain unclear in many species. In this study, we analysed …

A discriminant function for predicting sex in the Balearic Shearwater

M Genovart, M McMinn, D Bowler - Waterbirds, 2003‏ - BioOne
We evaluate sexual adult size dimorphism and provide a sex-discriminating function for the
Balearic Shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus). Blood samples taken from adults were used to …
