Spatial ecology of little egret (Egretta garzetta) in Hong Kong uncovers preference for commercial fishponds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Many natural wetlands have been converted to human-influenced wetlands. In some instances, human-influenced wetlands could provide complementary habitats for waterbirds, compensating for the loss of natural wetlands.

Genetic diversity of toll-like receptor genes in the vulnerable Chinese egret (Egretta eulophotes). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes have recently been employed to assess genetic diversity, as they can be used to infer both demographic history and adaptation to environments with different pathogen pressure. Here, we sampled 120 individuals of the Chinese
