To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of these measures and address key knowledge gaps in population dynamics and migration ecology, we analyzed ten years (2015–2024) of banding and citizen science data, comprising 116 CCT and 3501 GCT resighting records. We estimated survival rates using both directly derived survival rate (based on resighting rate after two years) and Cormack-Jolly-Seber modeling, and examined migration connectivity and climate risks. Results showed robust juvenile survival: modeled survival for the tern chick population was lower in the first two years (63.9 ± 12.0%) but exceeded 78% thereafter. This was also supported by resighting rate after two years: CCT 77.27%, GCT 70.42%. A key divergence in post-breeding migration was identified: CCT moves northward to stopover sites such as Nantong, Rizhao, and Jiaozhou Bay, whereas GCT migrates southward. Climate data confirmed that northern stopover sites do not pose higher storm risks, indicating that CCT's northward migration is not a population liability. Furthermore, connectivity among breeding islands in Zhejiang and the Matsu Archipelago reveals a nascent coastal breeding network along China's coast. These findings underscore the importance of protecting both the northern migration route and the breeding island network to ensure full life-cycle conservation of CCT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51311,"journal":{"name":"Avian Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"Article 100329"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145839788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their ecological importance, the diversity and prevalence of these parasites in the Afrotropical region remain poorly understood, especially in urban environments. Our study investigated the prevalence and diversity of haemosporidian parasites in Afrotropical avian hosts, focusing on differences between urban and non-urban habitats. We screened 95 birds from various species in Nigeria and investigated whether urbanization is associated with changes in the prevalence and richness of lineages of three haemosporidian parasites (<em>Haemoproteus</em>, <em>Plasmodium</em>, and <em>Leucocytozoon</em>). We found a haemosporidian prevalence of 36.8% with genus-specific differences between urban and non-urban habitats. The probability of <em>Haemoproteus</em> infection was higher in urban than non-urban habitats, but <em>Plasmodium</em> and <em>Leucocytozoon</em> did not differ between these habitats. Moreover, <em>Haemoproteus</em> lineages were exclusively found in urban habitats, while most <em>Plasmodium</em> lineages were restricted to non-urban habitats. Notably, we expanded the knowledge on diversity of haemosporidian lineages and avian hosts in the Afrotropics, with the first-ever record of hPYNJOC1 and pLUME2 lineages for the region, and the addition of new hosts for four <em>Haemoproteus</em> and two <em>Plasmodium</em> lineages. Our findings highlight the complexity of host-parasite relationships and the need for further research into the dynamics of haemosporidian parasites in Afrotropical avian hosts inhabiting diverse habitats. Overall, our study contributes to a better understanding of the prevalence, diversity, and distribution of haemosporidian parasites in the Afrotropics, emphasizing the importance of continued surveillance and monitoring to inform strategies for avian conservation and management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51311,"journal":{"name":"Avian Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"Article 100330"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145839726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of habitat degradation and population declines at key stopover sites along the EAAF, the South Korea's coastal wetlands have gained increasing attention for their ecological value. This study analyzed the shorebird population dynamics across 35 coastal wetlands in South Korea from 2016 to 2024 using data from the National Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Program. For the time-series analysis, we employed three indicators: seasonal changes in abundance, short-term fluctuations (<em>Fi</em>), and long-term trends, assessed using the TRends and Indices for Monitoring data (TRIM) model. Abundance, species richness, and Shannon diversity indices were assessed across the regions during spring and autumn. The TRIM results revealed significant population increases in both seasons (“Strong increase” in spring and “Moderate increase” in autumn). Species-level trends indicated notable increases in large-bodied shorebirds, including globally threatened species such as the Far Eastern Curlew (<em>Numenius madagascariensis</em>), Eurasian Curlew (<em>N. arquata</em>), and Eurasian Oystercatcher (<em>Haematopus ostralegus</em>), whereas other species showed variable responses. The Yellow Sea region (Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, and Western Jeolla) showed high biodiversity indices in spring, which may be associated with time-minimization strategies, whereas autumn patterns were characterized by more flexible and selective stopover use, possibly related to energy-minimization strategies. The East Coast and Jeju regions showed the lowest biodiversity indices. Furthermore, community-level analyses using Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) and PERMANOVA revealed distinct clustering of bird assemblages by macro-region and season, confirming significant spatial differentiation in community composition. These findings contrast with the broader declining trends reported across the EAAF and suggest that South Korea's coastal wetlands may serve as stable alternative stopover habitats, potentially supporting the redistribution or recovery of some species. This study highlights the importance of transboundary cooperation and region-specific habitat management that reflects local ecological contexts for effective conservation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51311,"journal":{"name":"Avian Research","volume":"17 1","pages":"Article 100328"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145883862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After one week of exposure to a short photoperiod, Zebra Finches exhibited a temporary decrease in BMR, gross energy intake, digestible energy intake, and digestibility, although body mass remained unchanged throughout the experiment. After four weeks of acclimation, no significant differences were observed among different groups in state 4 respiration, cytochrome <em>c</em> oxidase activity, citrate synthase activity, avian uncoupling protein expression, or circulating triiodothyronine and thyroxine hormone levels. In terms of substrate metabolism, short photoperiod-exposed finches showed increased pectoral muscle glycogen content and elevated serum triglyceride and free fatty acid levels, accompanied by a decrease in body fat. No differences were detected in serum glucose levels or in the activity and mRNA levels of carnitine palmityl-transferase-1 and <em>β</em>-hydroxyacyl Co-A dehydrogenase.

Although ecotourism is widely promoted as a strategy capable of delivering both environmental and developmental benefits, empirical evidence regarding its ecological and socioeconomic impacts remains limited. This study critically examined the Hide-in-Bird Pond (HIBP) model, a rapidly expanding, community-based avitourism framework in China that integrates targeted wildlife provisioning with concealed infrastructure for bird observation, simultaneously establishing a novel income source for economically marginalized rural regions through ecotourism. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 98 HIBP operators, and thematic analysis was applied to evaluate current developmental patterns, spatial distribution, and conservation outcomes. A total of 251 HIBP sites were identified across China, predominantly located in biodiversity-rich but economically marginalized regions. These sites collectively supported 524 bird species—36% of China's avifauna—including 148 species classified as nationally protected or threatened (38% of nationally listed bird taxa). These findings suggest that HIBP can serve as an integrative socio-ecological platform that aligns conservation objectives with sustainable rural development. However, the absence of standardized governance frameworks and ecological safeguards poses significant risks to biodiversity and long-term sustainability. Implementation of science-based adaptive management systems, incorporating systematic biodiversity monitoring, inclusive stakeholder coordination, and certified sustainable tourism protocols, is critical to ensure ecological integrity and sectoral resilience.

Host parents of Common Cuckoos could thus potentially benefit from retrieving evicted eggs and nestlings into the nest cup. However, whether hosts of the Common Cuckoo exhibit such retrieval behavior has been scarcely studied. In this study, we experimentally investigated the occurrence of retrieval in a nestbox-breeding population of Daurian Redstarts (<em>Phoenicurus auroreus</em>), a common cavity-nesting host of the Common Cuckoo. To test the redstarts’ response to an egg or a nestling outside the nest cup, we experimentally placed either a conspecific egg, a model cuckoo egg, or a redstart nestling near the rim of the nest cup. We found that redstarts never showed retrieval behavior of either eggs or nestlings. All hosts ignored the experimental nestling and conspecific egg, but most ejected the model cuckoo egg from the nestbox.

Our results indicate that the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Bohai-Yellow Sea formed a distinct migratory barrier separating the eastern and western populations. Significant differences in migration strategies were observed between populations and seasons. The western population adopts a “longer-distance, slower-speed, more-stopover” strategy, while the eastern population employs a “shorter-distance, higher-speed, fewer-stopover” strategy.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), characterized by harsh conditions, provides a natural laboratory for examining these relationships among sympatric species. Here, we investigated the dietary composition and gut microbiota of six passerine species inhabiting the QTP, comprising two endemic residents (White-rumped Snowfinch <em>Onychostruthus taczanowskii</em> and Ground Tit <em>Pseudopodoces humilis</em>), two non-endemic residents (Rock Sparrow <em>Petronia petronia</em> and Eurasian Tree Sparrow <em>Passer montanus</em>), and two non-endemic migratory species (Twite <em>Linaria flavirostris</em> and Black Redstart <em>Phoenicurus ochruros</em>), using high-throughput 18S and 16S rRNA sequencing. Our results revealed that dietary composition—dominated by Archaeplastida, Metazoa, Fungi, and the SAR supergroup—exhibited no significant interspecific variation, reflecting a high degree of trophic niche overlap. Although the overall diet was similar across species, the relative abundances of certain dietary components independently influenced specific microbial taxa. In particular, dietary Archaeplastida and Fungi showed phylogeny-independent positive correlations with 16 and 3 microbial genera, respectively, revealing fine-scale diet-microbiota associations. Evidence of phylosymbiosis was detected, as closely related species harbored more similar microbial communities driven by species-specific microbial biomarkers. Notably, our results suggested deterministic processes played a stronger role in endemic species, whereas stochastic community assembly dominated in non-endemic species, indicating distinct assembly mechanisms shaped by biogeographic history. Overall, this study reveals that while dietary similarity promotes convergent trophic niches among sympatric passerines, host phylogeny exerts a stronger influence on gut microbiota composition and assembly.
