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, EarlyView.
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 ...

DNA Barcoding Reveals Cryptic Diversity and Informs Conservation Priorities in Chinese Firmiana Species (Malvaceae) Using Genome Skimming Data DNA条形码揭示中国梧桐属 (锦葵科) 隐存多样性及保护优先级:来自基因组浅层测序数据的证据

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurate species identification is critical for conserving endangered Firmiana trees in China. However, morphological similarities among closely related Firmiana species complicate its taxonomic identification. We conducted genome skimming on 62 samples representing all 10 Chinese species and discovered nrITS as the optimal DNA barcode, achieving 100 ...
