For migratory waterbirds, the quality of wintering habitat is related to spring migration and successful breeding in next year. The availability food resources critical varies within water levels. Although water-level fluctuations Poyang Lake have been extremely variable interannually recent years, waterbird populations remained relatively stable. Hence, mechanism maintaining stability worth exploring. This study aimed compare distribution vegetation herbivorous waterbirds 2015–2016...

Abstract Due to rapid homogenization in habitat types as a result of urbanization, some urban birds adapt their nesting strategies changes local characteristics. Bird decisions might have been mainly linked resource constraints and ensuring reproductive success. In this study, we examined patterns behavior by spotted doves ( Spilopelia chinensis ) rapidly urbanizing area Nanchang, China using ArcGIS 10.8, satellite tracking, camera traps, field survey. To explore the mechanisms underlying...

The classical niche theory supports the idea that stable coexistence requires ecological differences between closely related species. However, information on waterbirds in entirely landlocked freshwater system of Poyang Lake is not well understood, especially when available biomass their food area decreases. In this study, we tested segregation mechanisms 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 wintering periods among eight herbivorous (including Siberian crane Grus leucogeranus, hooded monacha, white-naped...

Abstract Waterfowl (Anseriformes) and shorebirds (Charadriiformes) are the most common wild vectors of influenza A viruses. Due to their migratory behavior, some may transmit disease over long distances. Migratory connectivity studies can link breeding nonbreeding grounds while illustrating potential interactions among populations that spread diseases. We investigated Dunlin ( C alidris alpina ), a shorebird with subspecies C. a. arcticola ) migrates from areas endemic avian in eastern Asia...

Urbanization is a human‐induced process of rapid habitat change that can affect the reproductive success animals. The occurrence extra‐pair paternity (EPP) may be sensitive to changes in urban ecological conditions. In this study, Chinese blackbird Turdus mandarinus , common breeding bird southern cities, was selected as focus species explore EPP patterns monogamous birds developing cities and relationship between pairs. Over four seasons, 316 nestlings 20 adults both rural areas were...

In this study, we used mitochondrial control sequences and microsatellite data from 231 Common Moorhen Gallinula chloropus individuals sampled 19 sites in China to analyse their genetic structure evolutionary history. High diversity was found for all populations, although analysis showed that the non‐migratory populations significantly higher than migratory populations. gene flow occurred between neighbouring long‐distance also occurred. The Huazhong population single greatest source other...

Abstract We have used phylogeographic methods to investigate the genetic structure and population history of endangered Himalayan snowcock (Tetraogallus himalayensis) in northwestern China. The mitochondrial cytochrome b gene was sequenced 102 individuals sampled throughout distribution range. In total, we found 26 different haplotypes defined by 28 polymorphic sites. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that samples were divided into two major haplogroups corresponding one western eastern clade....

Urbanization is currently considered one of the most rapid types global environmental change. Urban habitats are biotically and abiotically different from their rural areas, i.e., ambient temperature, predator, food availability. These novel challenges create new selection pressures, which allow to investigate eco-evolutionary responses contemporary A total 118 breeding nests were monitored for nest predation in both urban areas 2018 2020. We used factors behavioral data 439 Chinese...
