Interior Least Tern (Sternula antillarum) breeding distribution and ecology: implications for population‐level studies and the evaluation of alternative management strategies on large, regulated rivers

Interior Least Terns (Sternula antillarum) (ILT) are colonial, fish‐eating birds that breed within active channels of large sand bed rivers of the Great Plains and in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Multipurpose dams, irrigation structures, and engineered navigation systems have been present on these...
