Seasonal changes in invertebrate diet of breeding black‐necked cranes (Grus nigricollis)
The growth, development, and reproduction of birds are influenced by the invertebrate diet. We studied the feeding composition of invertebrates in pre‐ and post‐breeding of black‐necked cranes (Grus nigricollis) by using fecal metabarcoding. We found that black‐necked cranes had a wider dietary niche at the species level in pre‐breeding, and we ...

Population transcriptomes reveal synergistic responses of DNA polymorphism and RNA expression to extreme environments on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in a predatory bird [PDF]
Low oxygen and temperature pose key physiological challenges for endotherms living on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Molecular adaptations to high‐altitude living have been detected in the genomes of Tibetans, their domesticated animals and a few ...

The shapes of bird beaks are highly controlled by nondietary factors [PDF]
Bird beaks are textbook examples of ecological adaptation to diet, but their shapes are also controlled by genetic and developmental histories. To test the effects of these factors on the avian craniofacial skeleton, we conducted morphometric analyses on
