Diet Drives Gut Bacterial Diversity of Wild and Semi-Captive Common Cranes (Grus grus) [PDF]
AnimalsThe gut microbiota of wild animals can regulate host physical health to adapt to the environment. High-throughput sequencing from fecal samples was used to analyze the gut microbiota communities in common cranes (Grus grus) without harming them.

Flyways of Common Cranes Grus grus breeding in Fennoscandia [PDF]
Ornis SvecicaKnowledge of migration patterns plays an essential role for understanding spatiotemporal distribution of birds. Here we used >15,000 sightings of 1,473 colour-ringed Common Cranes Grus grus to study migration patterns of birds breeding in five regions along a longitudinal gradient of Fennoscandia. Our results confirm that Fennoscandian cranes mainly
