基于COⅠ和16S rRNA基因的涉案鸟类残体鉴定

open access: yes野生动物学报, 2022
利用线粒体DNA细胞色素c氧化酶亚基Ⅰ基因(COⅠ)和16S核糖体RNA(16S rRNA)基因鉴定某公安机关查获的1件鸟类残体所属物种。结果表明:鸟类残体样本的COⅠ、16S rRNA基因片段与白枕鹤(Antigone vipio)对应的序列相似度均不低于98.98%,遗传距离分别为0.001~0.007和0。基于这2个基因片段构建系统发育树,显示鸟类残体样本与白枕鹤均聚为一支,鉴定该鸟类残体属白枕鹤所有。得到的COⅠ和16S rRNA基因片段可作为鉴定鹤科(Gruidae)鸟类的分子标记。

Assessing capture and tagging methods for brolgas, Antigone rubicunda (Gruidae) [PDF]

open access: yesWildlife Research, 2015
Context Studies assessing welfare issues and efficiency of animal capture methods are important, as capture can pose a significant welfare risk and methods can be time consuming to develop. It is imperative to choose methods that minimise injuries, maximise capture rates and minimise time spent on capture.

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 600-615, December 2025.
Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...
