The Genomic Footprints of the Fall and Recovery of the Crested Ibis. [PDF]

Curr Biol, 2019
Human-induced environmental change and habitat fragmentation pose major threats to biodiversity and require active conservation efforts to mitigate their consequences. Genetic rescue through translocation and the introduction of variation into imperiled populations has been argued as a powerful means to preserve, or even increase, the genetic diversity

High Accuracy Individual Identification Model of Crested Ibis (Nipponia Nippon) Based on Autoencoder With Self-Attention

IEEE Access, 2020
As the population and the distribution of Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) become larger, it is necessary to propose a highly efficient census method to estimate the population size of the Crested Ibis.

The Genetic and Morphological Basis of Local Adaptation to Elevational Extremes in an Alpine Finch. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated morphological and genetic variation in the Sierra Nevada Gray‐crowned Rosy Finch to identify traits important for local adaptation in alpine environments. By combining trait measurements with genome‐wide analyses, we uncovered loci linked to thermoregulation, altitude adaptation, and cold tolerance.

Factors affecting post-release survival and dispersal of reintroduced Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) in Tongchuan City, China

Avian Research, 2022
Reintroduction has become a common conservation management tool to restore endangered species in their historical range. However, many attempts have failed to establish self-sustaining populations in the wild.

Reproductive success of the Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon [PDF]

Bird Conservation International, 2006
The last remaining population of the Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon in the wild was studied in the Qinling Mountains, Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province, central China, over 24 breeding seasons with particular attention being paid to the nesting behaviour and breeding success. The average clutch size varied significantly among years (2.84 ± 0.77; n = 271),

Using stable isotope to compare the habitat use and trophic level between the new and old breeding range of wild Crested Ibis in the early breeding season

Avian Research, 2022
The concept of foraging niche provides an insight into habitat use and dietary information of animals. Knowing intraspecific variation in foraging niche and trophic level is critical to the understanding of the species response to environmental changes ...

Analysis and comparison of protein secondary structures in the rachis of avian flight feathers [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Avians have evolved many different modes of flying as well as various types of feathers for adapting to varied environments. However, the protein content and ratio of protein secondary structures (PSSs) in mature flight feathers are less understood ...

Transformative change of paddy rice systems for biodiversity: A case study of the crested ibis certified rice system in Sado Island, Japan

Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Innovation history analysis of the transformation of paddy rice system on Sado Island from 1999 to 2019, which progressed with the reintroduction of crested ibis (Nipponia nippon), identified three key levers, i.e.
