Survival rates of a reintroduced population of the Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon in Ningshan County (Shaanxi, China) [PDF]

open access: yesBird Conservation International, 2017
The last remaining population of the Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon in the wild was studied in the Qinling Mountains, Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province, central China, over 24 breeding seasons with particular attention being paid to the nesting behaviour and breeding success. The average clutch size varied significantly among years (2.84 ± 0.77; n = 271),

Development and characterization of 31 SNP markers for the Crested ibis (Nipponia nippon)

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2020
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), known as the third-generation molecular markers, are becoming popular in molecular ecology studies. The rapid development of next generation sequencing technologies allow identifying large numbers of SNP markers that can be used in conservation genetics.

DNA Sexing ofNipponia nipponby Duplex Polymerase Chain Reaction

Zoological Science, 2011
The aim of this study was to develop a rapid, simple, sensitive, and accurate duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to sex Nipponia nippon, a monomorphic bird. Amplification by duplex PCR of a sex-related gene on the female chromosome and the 12S rRNA gene yielded good results using genomic DNA extracted from a feather follicle or the membranes of ...

PREVALENCE OF A SEPTICEMIA DISEASE IN THE CRESTED IBIS (NIPPONIA NIPPON) IN CHINA

Avian Diseases Digest, 2007
This study investigated six cases of septicemia in young crested ibises (Nipponia nippon). These birds all died with similar clinical signs, including sudden death, anorexia, diarrhea, and lameness. Immediately after death, the birds were necropsied; a blood sample was taken from heart and tissues were sampled from liver, lung, spleen, peritoneal mucus,

Survival rates and reproductive ecology of a reintroduced population of the Asian Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon in Shaanxi Qianhu National Wetland Park, China

Bird conservation international, 2020
Summary Reintroductions aim to re-establish a viable population within the indigenous range of living organisms, especially of threatened species. The population of the Asian Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon, a well-known ‘Endangered’ bird species, has ...

Major Histocompatibility Complex Variation in the Endangered Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon and Implications for Reintroduction

Biochemical Genetics, 2006
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC), with its extraordinary levels of genetic variation, is thought to be an essential aspect of the ability of an organism to recognize different parasites and pathogens. It has also been proposed to regulate reproductive processes in many aspects.

Population Dynamics and Recovery of Endangered Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon ) in Central China

Waterbirds, 2008
Abstract The Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) is one of the most endangered avian species in the world. In 1981, seven ibis were discovered in the Qinling Mountain, central China. The ibis population responded positively to 20 years of intensive conservation growing to more than 500 birds.
