Urban green roofs provide habitat for migrating and breeding birds and their arthropod prey. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The world is rapidly urbanizing, and many previously biodiverse areas are now mostly composed of impervious surface. This loss of natural habitat causes local bird communities to become dominated by urban dweller and urban utilizer species and reduces ...

A trait dataset for Taiwan's breeding birds [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020
Species traits affect how a species interacts with the environment and other species and thus determine the role of the species in an ecosystem. They affect not only population dynamics of a species across space and over time, but also community structure and function through their key role in the community assembly processes.

Virome in the cloaca of wild and breeding birds revealed a diversity of significant viruses. [PDF]

Microbiome, 2022
Wild birds may harbor and transmit viruses that are potentially pathogenic to humans, domestic animals, and other wildlife. Using the viral metagenomic approach, we investigated the virome of cloacal swab specimens collected from 3182 birds (the majority

Cooperative breeding and the emergence of multilevel societies in birds

bioRxiv, 2021
Multilevel societies (MLSs), where social levels are hierarchically nested within each other, are considered one of the most complex forms of animal societies. Although thought to mainly occur in mammals, it is suggested that MLSs could be under-detected
