PREDICTIVE GROWTH BUDGETS IN TERNS AND GULLS
Energy budgets for nestling growth are presented for the Sandwich Tern Sterna sandvicensis, Common Tern S. hirundo, Arctic Tern S. paradisaea, and Herring Gull Larus argentatus. Chicks were either raised in captivity (growth efficiencies) or removed from the nest periodically for measurement of basa...

Energy budgets for nestling growth are presented for the Sandwich Tern Sterna sandvicensis, Common Tern S. hirundo, Arctic Tern S. paradisaea, and Herring Gull Larus argentatus.
