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.

An Overview of the Ecological Values of Soumar Wetland on Waterbirds Diversity

zoodiversity, 2023
The diversity and richness of the waterbird community is the main criterion used to classify wetlands as Ramsar and/or IBA sites. This study was carried out in the Soumar wetland (Setif province — northeastукт Algeria) from September 2019 to September 2020. Our aim was to study the ecological values of this wetland and the status of waterbirds.

Study on the effect of habitat function change on waterbird diversity and guilds in Yancheng coastal wetlands based on structure–function coupling

Ecological Indicators, 2021
In recent years, due to human activities and global climate change, the number and area of waterbird habitats in Yancheng coastal wetlands, a newly established world natural heritage site, have been shrinking, the function of the waterbird habitats has ...

Assessment of anthropogenic-causing-agents act on waterbirds-diversity in the vicinity of Tarbela Dam, Indus River, Pakistan

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Birds are among the best bio-indicators, which can guide us to recognize some of the main conservation concerns in ecosystems. Anthropogenic impacts such as deforestation, habitat degradation, modification of landscapes, and decreased quality of habitats

Response of different waterbird guilds to landscape changes along the yellow sea coast: A case study

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The health of China’s coastal wetlands plays an important role in global bird biodiversity. However, land reclamation, the spread of invasive species, and over-harvesting have altered the landscape of coastal wetland, thus bringing cascade effects on ...

Gravel pits support waterbird diversity in an urban landscape [PDF]

Hydrobiologia, 2009
We assessed the benefit of 11 gravel pits for the settlement of waterbird communities in an urbanized area lacking natural wetlands. Gravel pits captured 57% of the regional species pool of aquatic birds. We identified 39 species, among which five were regionally rare. We used the Self-Organizing Map algorithm to calculate the probabilities of presence

Genetic diversity, recombination and cross-species transmission of a waterbird gammacoronavirus in the wild

Journal of General Virology, 2023
2. Abstract Viruses emerging from wildlife can cause outbreaks in humans and domesticated animals. Predicting the emergence of future pathogens and mitigating their impacts requires an understanding of what shapes virus diversity and dynamics in wildlife reservoirs.

Wetland restoration in the East Dongting Lake effectively increased waterbird diversity by improving habitat quality

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Wetland restoration is an effective way to recover degraded wetlands worldwide. The Dongting Lake wetland, an important wintering habitat for waterbirds, has suffered considerable degradation due to climate change and human disturbance during the last ...
