An assessment of threats to Anatidae in Iran [PDF]

Bird Conservation International, 2014
SummaryThe network of wetland systems in Iran provides valuable staging and wintering areas for waterbirds in the African-Western Eurasian flyways. The West Siberian/Caspian/Nile populations of Anatidae (ducks, geese and swans) regularly overwinter and stop over in Iran, and are considered an economically and culturally important group of birds in the ...

Metagenomic and Antibiotic Resistance Analysis of the Gut Microbiota in Larus relictus and Anatidae Species Inhabiting the Honghaizi Wetland of Ordos, Inner Mongolia, from 2021 to 2023 [PDF]

Microorganisms
Gut microbes thrive by utilising host energy and, in return, provide valuable benefits, akin to a symbiotic relationship. Here, metagenomic sequencing was performed to characterise and compare the community composition, diversity and antibiotic ...

Detailed cytogenetic analysis of three duck species (the northern pintail, mallard, and common goldeneye) and karyotype evolution in the family Anatidae (Anseriformes, Aves) [PDF]

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
Galliformes and Anseriformes are two branches of the Galloanserae group, basal to other Neognathae. In contrast to Galliformes, Anseriformes have not been thoroughly researched by cytogenetic methods.

The cranial morphometrics of the wildfowl (Anatidae)

Ornis Hungarica, 2017
AbstractWildfowl (Anatidae) are a diverse group of birds and globally distributed. These birds feed by widely varying methods, there are generalist and specialist species. In a number of vertebrate taxa trophic specializations have led to distinct differences in the morphology of the skull, like in birds.

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiota Among Captive Waterbird Species: Effects of Diet and Environmental Factors. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study reveals that diet drives gut microbiota differences in captive waterbirds (bar‐headed goose, ruddy shelduck, black‐necked crane), with protein‐rich diets shaping distinct microbial communities. Artificial lakes enhance microbial diversity compared to enclosures, offering insights for improving captive waterbird health.
