Effectiveness of Key Biodiversity Areas in representing global avian diversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the largest and most complete network of significant sites for the global persistence of biodiversity. Although important sites for birds worldwide have been relatively well assessed, a key question is how effectively the global KBA network represents avian diversity.

加拿大鹤代养美洲鹤

open access: yes野生动物学报, 1989
以加拿大鹤(Grus canadensis tabida)作义亲代养美洲鹤(Grus americana)的试验最早于1950年,由萨斯卡切丸(Saskat—chewarn)自然博物馆馆长弗里德·巴德(Fred·E·Bard)所设计和试行。五十年代及六十年代初期,国际上普遍对美洲鹤的濒危表示忧虑。要想挽救它恐不能单靠其自然繁殖,而必须借人为的努力,拾取一定量的野生卵,孵化并育出健壮雏鸟,而后释放到野外以增加野生种群数量或以此建立新的种群。为进行义亲代养试验,必须首先研究二种鹤的生态及其相互关系 ...

Farmers' tolerance for crop damage caused by wildlife: the role of compensation

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.
Compensation is a common strategy to alleviate financial losses caused by wildlife, but its effects on farmers' tolerance towards damage to crops caused by wildlife are poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted semi‐structured interviews in three areas in and around biosphere reserves in Sweden and Germany to examine farmers ...

Deciphering Cryptic Population Structure in Western Sandhill Crane Subspecies (Antigone canadensis) of the Pacific Flyway

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Sandhill Crane populations of the Pacific Flyway are made up of breeding populations nesting west of the Rocky Mountains, and isolated by intermediate mountain ranges. Here, we analyze microsatellite markers, mitochondrial DNA sequences, and mitochondrial haplogroups to elucidate population genetic structure and found substantial genetic ...

Climate‐related drivers of migratory bird health in the south‐central USA

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1272-1293, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds are species of concern that play important ecological roles while also supporting recreational opportunities for the hunting and birdwatching public. Direct and indirect effects of climate variability, extremes, and change on migratory bird health manifest at the individual, population, species, and community levels.

Same‐sex partnerships in birds: a review of the current literature and a call for more data

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Same‐sex sexual behaviour (SSB), encompassing actions such as courtship, pair bonding, and parenting between individuals of the same sex, has been observed across numerous taxa, including birds. Yet despite its widespread occurrence, SSB remains poorly understood, often dismissed as maladaptive or the result of errors in sex discrimination.

FOGS: A SNPSTR Marker Database to Combat Wildlife Trafficking and a Cell Culture Bank for Ex‐Situ Conservation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade is a growing problem internationally. Poaching of animals not only leads to the extinction of populations and species but also has serious consequences for ecosystems and economies. This study introduces a molecular marker system that authorities can use to detect and substantiate wildlife trafficking.

Translocation experiment of taiga bean geese Anser fabalis provides evidence for oblique social learning of moult migration

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
While there is ample evidence supporting genetic control of migratory behaviour in short‐lived passerines, long‐lived social species have been assumed to rely solely on cultural inheritance of migratory routes. Evidence from experimental studies supporting this idea is scarce.
