Structure and polymorphism of the major histocompatibility complex class II region in the Japanese Crested Ibis, Nipponia nippon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a highly polymorphic genomic region that plays a central role in the immune system. Despite its functional consistency, the genomic structure of the MHC differs substantially among organisms.

Comparative chromosome maps between the stone curlew and three ciconiiform species (the grey heron, little egret and crested ibis) [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Previous cytogenetic studies show that the karyotypes of species in Ciconiiformes vary considerably, from 2n = 52 to 78. Their karyotypes include different numbers of small to minute bi-armed chromosomes that have evolved probably by fusions ...

Understanding Recovery Is as Important as Understanding Decline: The Case of the Crested Ibis in China

Land, 2022
The wild population of the crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) has recovered remarkably from seven individuals in 1981 to over 7000 in 2021. However, it is unclear how key factors, from endogenous density dependence to exogenous environmental pressure, have ...

From fledging to independence: Post-fledging movements and space use of the Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon)

Avian Research
The post-fledging period, extending from fledging to independence, is a crucial life stage characterized by high mortality due to fledglings' limited mobility and inexperience.

Evaluation of antimicrobial resistance and virulence characteristics in Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis isolates from dead Crested Ibis embryos at the artificial breeding base

Avian Research
Bacterial infections of avian embryos can lead to an increase in embryo mortality, and the proliferation of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria aggravates the situation.

Captive Rearing and Breeding of the Crested Ibis, Nipponia nippon

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2001
Only seven crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) were rediscovered in China in 1981, and the number of birds increased to more than 230 in both wild and captivity by the time of 2000.

Comprehensive analysis and risk assessment of antibiotic contaminants and the antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli from crested ibis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The environmental quality of habitat is a critical determinant of animal survival. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of ten antibiotic residues in habitats of the crested ibis (Nipponia nippon).

The complete mitochondrial genome of an Asian crested ibis Nipponia nippon (Pelecaniformes, Threskiornithidae) from South Korea [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence from the Asian crested ibis, Nipponia nippon (Aves, Pelecaniformes, Threskiornithidae), was determined and characterized in detail. This mitochondrial genome is 16,813 bp long, and consists of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs,

Lack of Structural Variation but Extensive Length Polymorphisms and Heteroplasmic Length Variations in the Mitochondrial DNA Control Region of Highly Inbred Crested Ibis, Nipponia nippon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) length polymorphism and heteroplasmy are accepted to be universal. Here we report the lack of structural variation but the presence of length polymorphism as well as heteroplasmy in mtDNA control region of an ...
