Migratory birds rely on a habitat network along their migration routes by temporarily occupying stopover sites between breeding and non-breeding grounds. Removal or degradation of in might impede movement thereby reduce success survival. The extent to which the breakdown networks, due changes land use, impacts population sizes migratory is poorly understood. We measured functional connectivity networks waterfowl species that migrate over East Asian-Australasian Flyway from 1992 2015....

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing is a promising approach for non-destructive and high-throughput assessment of crop water nitrogen (N) efficiencies. In this study, UAV was used to evaluate two field trials using four (T0 = 0 mm, T1 80 T2 120 T3 160 mm), N 0, kg ha-1, 180 240 ha-1) treatments, respectively, conducted on three wheat genotypes at locations. Ground-based destructive data indictors such as biomass contents were also measured validate the surveillance results....

Summary Virtually the entire population of globally ‘Vulnerable’ Swan Goose Anser cygnoides winters in Yangtze floodplain. Historically, species was widely distributed throughout floodplain but now approximately 95% is confined to three closely-situated wetlands Anhui and Jiangxi Provinces. Recent counts indicate that at one these sites, Shengjin Lake (in Anhui), a decline about 10,000–20,000 birds, 1,000 currently, has taken place during last five years. The likely cause abundance recent...

Abstract This paper studied saline soil’s water and salt migration behavior under evaporation conditions by a self-designed experimental device, the evolution law of content, conductivity, temperature in different heights soil roadbeds was analyzed. The test results show that at an ambient 18°C, water-salt roadbed is mainly concentrated early stage hydration (≤48 h), which shows typical phenomenon follows conductivity soils increases synchronously with content. Under condition, decreased...

Rising nitrate contamination in water systems poses significant risks to public health and ecosystem stability, necessitating advanced modeling understand dynamics more accurately. This study applies the long short-term memory (LSTM) investigate hydrologic environmental factors influencing concentration rivers aquifers across state of Alabama southeast United States. By integrating dynamic data such as streamflow groundwater levels with static catchment attributes, machine learning model...

Abstract Aim Although assembly processes have been studied in a wide range of taxa, determining rules remains controversial, particularly assemblages consisted species with strong dispersal capacities. Moreover, few studies focused on communities recently human‐created habitats. We tested two prevailing but opposing hypotheses, environmental filtering and limiting similarity, waterbird across subsidence wetlands created by underground coal mining China, an aim to better understand composed...

Conversion of natural environments to human-modified landscapes is continuing at an unprecedented rate, exerting fundamental influences on global biodiversity. Understanding how wildlife communities respond landscape modifications critical improve biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes. In this study, we surveyed bird three common habitats (i.e., farmland, village, and forest) the southern Anhui Mountainous Area during summer (August 2019) winter (December 2020). The...

University campuses are important components of cities, harboring the majority urban biodiversity. In this study, based on monthly bird survey data covering 12 university located either downtown or in newly developed areas Nanjing, China, 2019, we studied assembly processes each campus’s population and their main drivers by modeling a set ecological landscape determinants. Our results showed that (1) abundance species diversity were significantly higher than those downtown; (2) phylogeny...

Competition may occur when two species with similar feeding ecologies exploit the same limited resources in time and space. In recent years, Eastern Tundra Bean Goose Anser fabalis serrirostris Greater White-fronted albifrons frontalis have increased wintering numbers at Shengjin Lake, China. To examine potential for coexistence possible avoidance strategies, we studied (1) their habitat use, (2) foraging behaviours (3) diets of birds mixed- single-species flocks. Both extensively exploited...

Since 2014, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 viruses of clade 2.3.4.4 have been dominating the outbreaks across Europe, causing massive deaths among poultry and wild birds. However, factors shaping these broad-scale outbreak patterns, especially those related to waterbird community composition, remain unclear. In particular, we do not know whether risk differ from other clades. Addressing this knowledge gap is important for predicting preventing future HPAI outbreaks. Using...

Summary Underground coal mining in the North China Plain has created large-scale subsidence wetlands that may attract waterbirds use them as complementary habitats. However, no study been conducted to understand avian of these wetlands, inhibiting formulation effective management plans. Here, we carried out 12 semi-monthly surveys 55 during 2016–2017 migration and wintering period performed direct multivariate analyses, combined with variance partitioning, test effects multi-scale habitat...

Reliable information on the distribution of target species and influencing environmental factors is essential for effective conservation management. However, ecologists have often derived data from costly field surveys. The Swan Goose (Anser cygnoides), a vulnerable Anatidae species, winters almost exclusively in China's Yangtze River floodplain, but wintering numbers been steadily decreasing. To better safeguard this unique modern modeling approaches can be used to quantify predict its...

Explaining and predicting animal distributions is one of the fundamental objectives in ecology conservation biology. Animal habitat selection can be regulated by top-down bottom-up processes, mediated species interactions. Species varying body size respond differently to determinants, hence understanding these allometric responses those determinants important for conservation. In this study, using two sized goose wintering Yangtze floodplain, we tested predictions derived from three...
