Mechanism of Waterbird Diversity Succession and Its Contribution to Nutrient Loads in Chagan Lake, China [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Analyzing the spatiotemporal variation of waterbird diversity is important for wetland restoration and protection. However, further research is needed to investigate the mutual feedback between the mechanisms of waterbird diversity and water quality ...

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.

Functional Diversity of Wintering Waterbird Enhanced by Restored Wetland in the Lakeshore of Chaohu Lake [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
ABSTRACT The primary goal of wetland restoration is to understand the species assembly process in order to strategically guide community development. Providing suitable habitats for waterbirds is one of the key objectives.

Functional diversity dynamics of waterbird communities driven by water levels at Shengjin Lake, a small river‐connected shallow lake in the middle and lower Yangtze River floodplain [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Gate‐controlled activities in lakes can directly or indirectly influence the assembly of waterbird communities. Shengjin Lake, a Ramsar site, is a typical river‐connected and gate‐controlled shallow lake in the lower and middle Yangtze River floodplain ...

Drivers of taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of waterbirds in urban wetlands. [PDF]

Curr Zool
Abstract Urban wetlands are considered as “habitat islands” within the urban matrix that contribute to species conservation. Waterbirds are sensitive pollution indicators in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and their diversity in urban wetlands reflects the response of wildlife to urbanization.

Lower reclamation of coastal lagoon conserves higher waterbird assemblage phylogenetic diversity

Global Ecology and Conservation
Natural habitat loss caused by wetland reclamation is one of the most important causation for waterbird decline worldwide. Measurements of biodiversity loss always relied on the species and abundance reduce initially.

Impacts of habitat modification on the dynamics of waterbird diversity in Guangzhou Haizhu National Wetland Park

Global Ecology and Conservation
The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is a crucial habitat for over 120 species of waterbirds, including migratory species. As a key component of the wetland resources in the PRD, Guangzhou Haizhu National Wetland Park (GHNWP) plays a vital role in supporting the ...

Waterbird diversity and abundance in response to variations in climate in the Liaohe Estuary, China

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Birds are sensitive to environmental change and thus good indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem health. Because birds fill a variety of functional roles, understanding their diversity patterns is important to inform and support conservation management.
