The Distribution and Dispersal of Large Haploblocks in a Superspecies Open
Haploblocks are regions of the genome that coalesce to an ancestor as a single unit. Differentiated haplotypes in these regions can result from the accumulation of mutational differences in low‐recombination chromosomal regions, especially…

Inter- and intraspecific variation in flight muscle fibers is associated with migratory timing Open
The life-history strategies of organisms are shaped by trade-offs among traits that influence survival, development, reproduction, and ultimately fitness. However, the specific physiological and environmental mechanisms driving population-…

The diet–intestinal microbiota dynamics and adaptation in an elevational migration bird, the Himalayan bluetail (<i>Tarsiger rufilatus</i>) Open
Migratory birds experience changes in their environment and diet during seasonal migrations, thus requiring interactions between diet and gut microbes. Understanding the co‐evolution of the host and gut microbiota is critical for elucidati…

Sex-ratio and short-term cold-adaptation of a typical migratory songbird (Tarsiger cyanurus) wintering in southwest China Open
Winter, the most challenging season for animals, is usually accompanied by extremely cold temperatures and limited food resources. Harsh winter conditions force birds to develop behavioral and physiological adaptations to reduce mortality.…

Altitudinal migration behavior patterns of birds on the eastern slope of Mt. Gongga, China Open
Many bird species in montane regions exhibit altitudinal migration behavior; however, altitudinal migration of birds is still understudied, especially in Asia. Mt. Gongga (7556 m) is the highest peak of the Hengduan Mountains in Southwest…

Diversity of birds in breeding season of Dujiangyan Open
Aims: Dujiangyan is located in a regional hotspot of biodiversity, which has significantly high avian diversity.However, a comprehensive list of bird species is still lacking there.Therefore, we conducted fixed-line transects bird surveys …

Comparative analysis of the intestinal tract microbiota and feeding habits of five sympatric flycatchers Open
Gut microbiota and host interactions co-evolve and develop into stably adapted microbial communities and play vital roles in maintaining the health of organisms. Diet is supposed to be an important driver of differences in gut microbiota, …
