The structure and phylogenesis of olfactory receptor gene OR14J1 in ardeid birds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
动物嗅觉受体(OlfactoryReceptor,OR)分布于嗅觉上皮而直接影响着嗅觉功能。哺乳类OR基因家族中位点相连于主要组织相容性复合体(MajorHistocompatibilityComplex,MHC)的基因比例最大,且邻近MHC的最常见OR14J1基因具有与MHC相关联的作用,动物通过嗅觉选择配偶能够有利于提高其免疫力和适应性。鸟类嗅觉以往被认为较弱而没有得到重视,近年来有关鸟类嗅觉基因的研究正在开始起步。 本论文在设计鹭科鸟类OR14J1通用引物的基础上,扩增鹭科鸟类OR14J1片段 ...

Strong Variation in Land‐Use Change Impacts on Tropical Avian Phylogenetic Diversity Between Ecoregions Highlights the Need to Sample Large Spatial Scales

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
Forest conversion for agriculture is a major cause of biodiversity loss in the tropics, but its impacts depend on how broadly they are measured. Using data from across Colombia, one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, we examined how deforestation for cattle farming affects the evolutionary history of bird species.

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

open access: yesIntegrative 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 ...
