Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiota Among Captive Waterbird Species: Effects of Diet and Environmental Factors. [PDF]
Vet Med SciThis study reveals that diet drives gut microbiota differences in captive waterbirds (bar‐headed goose, ruddy shelduck, black‐necked crane), with protein‐rich diets shaping distinct microbial communities. Artificial lakes enhance microbial diversity compared to enclosures, offering insights for improving captive waterbird health.

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023 Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...

Impact of host age on viral and bacterial communities in a waterbird population
The ISME Journal, 2022 AbstractWildlife harbour pathogens that can harm human or livestock health and are the source of most emerging infectious diseases. It is rarely considered how changes in wildlife population age-structures or how age-stratified behaviours might alter the level of pathogen detection within a species, or risk of spillover to other species.

Community-based conservation with formal protection provides large collateral benefits to Amazonian migratory waterbirds [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2021 Populations of migratory waterbirds are facing dramatic declines worldwide due to illegal hunting, habitat loss and climate change. Conservation strategies to reverse these trends are imperative, especially in tropical developing countries, which almost invariably allocate insufficient levels of investment for environmental protection.

Collapse of a protector species drives secondary endangerment in waterbird communities [PDF]
Biological Conservation, 2019 Abstract Interactions and dependence between species can transmit the effects of species declines within and between trophic levels, resulting in secondary endangerments and, in some cases, extinctions. Many mixed-species avian breeding aggregations commonly have a protector species whose aggressive nest defense is used by other species to defend ...

Waterbird Community in A Plantation Forest of An Industrial Area
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2018 Waterbird mostly were found in natural wetlands, nesting on mangrove trees. An unusual case was found in a human-made (plantation) forest in an automotive company within an industrial area. The objective of the research was to reveal the species and number of waterbirds that utilized the non-mangrove plantation forest and to record the number of nests ...

Community Characteristics of Waterbirds in Junam Reservoir, Changwon-si, Korea
Journal of Korean Nature, 2012 AbstractThe study was performed for birds living around Junam Reservoir, a representing place for migrant birds in Korea for 10 times from February to December (except November) in 2011. The result states that a total of 11,742 individuals, 102 species, 41 families and 13 orders of birds were found around the reservoir and anseriformes including Anser ...

Environmental factors shaping the distribution of common wintering waterbirds in a lake ecosystem with developed shoreline [PDF]
, 2013 In this study, we tested whether the spatial distribution of waterbirds is influenced by shoreline urbanization or other habitat characteristics. We conducted monthly censuses along shoreline sections of a continental lake (Lake Balaton, Hungary) to ...
