Gut microbiota of endangered crested ibis: Establishment, diversity, and association with reproductive output

PLoS ONE, 2021
Gut microbiota is known to influence the host’s health; an imbalance of the gut microbial community leads to various intestinal and non-intestinal diseases. Research on gut microbes of endangered birds is vital for their conservation. However, a thorough

The spreading of the invasive sacred ibis in Italy

Scientific Reports, 2021
The spreading of invasive species in new continents can vary from slow and limited diffusion to fast colonisations over vast new areas. We studied the sacred ibis Threskiornis aethiopicus along a 31-year period, from 1989 to 2019, with particular ...

Changes in the Habitat Preference of Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) during a Period of Rapid Population Increase

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary In 1981, the crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) was a critically endangered bird with only two pairs left in the world. Now, numbers have increased, and it has been reintroduced to many places in China, Japan, and Korea. In the breeding season,

Comparative morphology and soft tissue histology of the remote‐touch bill‐tip organ in three ibis species of differing foraging ecology

Journal of Anatomy, 2022
Ibises (order: Pelecaniformes, family: Threskiornithidae) are probe‐foraging birds that use ‘remote‐touch’ to locate prey items hidden in opaque substrates.

Spatial- and Temporal-Trajectory Analysis of the Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) by Fusing Multiple Sources of Data

Animals, 2023
The Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) is an endangered animal with an extremely high ecological, humanistic, and scientific value. However, this species still faces survival challenges, due to rapidly shrinking foraging grounds, the serious interference of ...

Irruptive White Ibis breeding is associated with use of freshwater crayfish in the coastal Everglades

Ornithological Applications, 2021
As avian reproductive success is generally prey limited, identifying important prey types or sizes and understanding mechanisms governing prey availability are important objectives for avian conservation ecology.

The movements of a recently urbanized wading bird reveal changes in season timing and length related to resource use.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The American White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) is a nomadic wading bird that is increasing the amount of time spent foraging in urban areas, relying on artificial wetlands and other anthropogenic resources year-round. In this study, we explore whether and how
