Experimental Evidence for Sibling Recognition in Common Terns (Sterna Hirundo)

Abstract Young Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) did not respond preferentially to calls of siblings at 8 and 9 days of age, but did so by 12 days of age. In experiments with and without visual isolation, and with use of playback, we demonstrated a tendency to approach sibling begging calls. This differ...
