Waterbird Diversity Patterns Under Varied Hydrological Regimes in Dongting Lake and Surrounding Lakes [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Globally, climate and human‐induced environmental changes affect the populations and distributions of most organisms. This is particularly true for migratory birds, which change habitats throughout the annual cycle.

Developmental mechanisms underlying webbed foot morphological diversity in waterbirds [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractThe webbed feet of waterbirds are morphologically diverse and classified into four types: the palmate foot, semipalmate foot, totipalmate foot, and lobate foot. To understand the developmental mechanisms underlying this morphological diversity, we conducted a series of comparative analyses.

Effects of Human Activities on the Diversity of Waterbirds Wintering in a Shallow Lake of the Middle and Lower Yangtze River Floodplain, China [PDF]

Diversity, 2020
Human activity is the major factor driving the wetland degradation in shallow lakes. Human exploitation of lake wetlands alters the habitats of wintering waterbirds, and, in turn, waterbird diversity in the shallow lakes.
