A Ground Surface Rolling Method for Detecting Environmental DNA of Terrestrial Animals
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.The Koro‐rin sampler enables surface‐based eDNA detection of terrestrial animals. This approach captured a broad range of bird and mammal taxa, including small and cryptic species, and revealed seasonal patterns in animal presence, complementing conventional monitoring methods.

Evolutionary Genetics of the Anatidae
Japanese Journal of Ornithology, 1983 Thirty-one species and subspecies consisting of 169 individuals of the Anatidae were tested with 10 enzyme loci by means of electrophoresis. (1) Intra-specific genetic variation was found only in 6 species. The overall mean heterozygosity value was very low (H=0.003).(2) The mean genetic distance (D) was 0.285 among 13 genera, and 0.016 among 31 ...

Experimental Evidence Shows the Importance of Behavioural Plasticity and Body Size under Competition in Waterfowl. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 When differently sized species feed on the same resources, interference competition may occur, which may negatively affect their food intake rate. It is expected that competition between species also alters behaviour and feeding patch selection.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 600-615, December 2025.Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...
