Association of reproductive traits with captive‐ versus wild‐sourced birds in trade

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The wildlife trade is a billion‐dollar global business, involving millions of people, thousands of species, and hundreds of millions of individual organisms. Unravelling whether trade targets reproductively distinct species and whether this preference varies between captive‐ and wild‐sourced species is a crucial question.

Whole‐genome survey reveals extensive variation in genetic diversity and inbreeding levels among peregrine falcon subspecies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
By exploring genomic diversity among all named peregrine falcon subspecies, we identified a pattern showing reduced diversity and higher inbreeding levels and runs of homozygosity among island and nonmigratory compared to mainland and migratory subspecies.

Transboundary conservation hotspots in China and potential impacts of the belt and road initiative

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 338-348, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Biodiversity hotspots often span international borders, thus conservation efforts must as well. China is one of the most biodiverse countries and the length of its international land borders is the longest in the world; thus, there is a strong need for transboundary conservation.

Comparable High Rates of Extended-Spectrum-Beta-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli in Birds of Prey from Germany and Mongolia [PDF]

, 2012
Frequent contact with human waste and liquid manure from intensive livestock breeding, and the increased loads of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that result, are believed to be responsible for the high carriage rates of ESBL- producing E. coli found in

Effects of land use and yak grazing on behavior and body mass of plateau pika in Tibetan plateau rangelands

Grassland Science, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 343-353, October 2022., 2022
Abstract The body mass of small mammals is widely regarded as an indicator of habitat quality, with trade‐offs between anti‐predator and energy‐building behaviors noted across many species and habitat conditions as suggested by optimal foraging theory. In this study, however, grazing by domestic yak was noted to mediate this effect, affecting both the ...
