Most species of larids are migratory, although the distance travelled varies considerably with species; the Arctic Tern migrates from practically one pole to the other, while some species of gulls travel such short distances that it would more be accurate to speak of post-breeding dispersal rather than migration.

CONT

Toutefois, les distances parcourues lors des migrations varient considérablement selon les espèces; la Sterne arctique migre pratiquement d'un pôle à l'autre, tandis que certaines espèces de goélands parcourent des distances si faibles qu'on pourrait parler davantage de dispersion post-reproductrice que de migration.
