Complete mitochondrial genome of little ringed plover Charadrius dubius (Charadriiformes, Charadriidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
This study encoded the complete mitochondrial genomic sequence of the little ringed plover Charadrius dubius. The mitochondrial genome has a total length of 16,864 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control ...

A conserved karyotype? Chromosomal rearrangements in Charadrius collaris detected by BAC-FISH [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Charadriidae comprise 142 valid species and the most recent checklist for the occurrence of this family in Brazil describes 11 species. There are few chromosomal studies in Charadriidae, most of them using a conventional approach.

Survival fluctuation is linked to precipitation variation during staging in a migratory shorebird [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Understanding how weather conditions affect animal populations is essential to foresee population changes in times of global climate shifts. However, assessing year-round weather impacts on demographic parameters is hampered in migratory animals due to ...

A Practical Method to Assess Bird Strike Risk in Air Operations Using a Count-Based Risk Mitigation Tool. [PDF]

Risk Anal
ABSTRACT Bird strikes pose a risk to aviation. Collisions between birds and airplanes result in a threat to human lives, economic losses, and material damage. The majority of these collisions occur on airfields during takeoff and landing. Knowing what bird species are present on airfields, in what numbers, and relating that to the extent to which these

Bill Length of Non-breeding Shorebirds Influences the Water Depth Preferences for Foraging in the West Coast of India. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Body size, bill length and shape determine the foraging techniques, habitat selection and diet among shorebirds. In this study, water depth preferences of different shorebirds with different bill sizes in various habitats were investigated between 2017 and 2020.

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Pluvialis fulva and Charadrius dubius with Phylogenetic Analysis of Charadriiformes. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
Background: Plovers (Charadriidae), within the order of Charadriiformes, a group of modern birds distributed worldwide, are a frequent subject of molecular phylogenetic studies. While research on mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) variation within the family Charadriidae, especially intraspecific variation, is limited.

Coastal Shorebirds Delay Maturity More Than Inland Ones. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Migratory shorebirds frequenting coastal non‐breeding habitats delay maturity, as expressed in the age of first return migration, more than the species using inland freshwater habitats. ABSTRACT Delaying the age of first breeding will lower lifetime reproductive output unless compensated for by increased fecundity or survival.

Datasets of Bird Species Composition in a Land Reclamation Area of Lake Kahokugata, Central Japan, in Relation to Various Farmland Types. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present a dataset describing bird assemblages in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape surrounding Lake Kahokugata, located in a snow‐rich region on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan. Our data is useful in providing insights into how landscape heterogeneity, cropland composition, and seasonal dynamics influence bird diversity in snowy ...

Birds of Berlin: Changes in communities and guilds in the urban park "Tiergarten" since 1850. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Abstract Urbanization has far‐reaching consequences on birds, and knowledge of the impacts on taxonomic and functional diversity is necessary to make cities as compatible as possible for species. Avian diversity in parks in urban centers has been investigated multiple times, but rarely so in long‐term studies due to lacking data.

TRADITIONAL RURAL WETLANDS IN HARYANA STATE OF INDIA ARE CURRENTLY CONFRONTING MULTICORNERED THREATS LEADING TO EXTINCTION SOONER THAN LATER [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2012
The most serious threat to traditional rural ponds in Haryana is associated with transformed societal behavioural patterns, ethics, values and life style, amongst several others. The siltation of ponds with adjoining areas, soil coming in with rain water
