Research on conservation genetics of this species is urgently needed. In this study, microsatellite marking technology was used for screening and analysis of genetic diversity of microsatellite markers in Oriental White Storks. A total of 36 pairs of microsatellite primers were used, of which 7 pairs came from Ciconia ciconia, 12 pairs from Nipponia nippon and 17 pairs from Ardea herodias. Microsatellite loci were screened from 23 individuals of the Oriental White Stork and 11 microsatellite loci were found with high polymorphism. The number of population alleles ranged from 3 to 11, averaging 7.09. The average expected heterozygosity (H e ) was 0.7816 and the average polymorphism information content (PIC) 0.7172, suggesting a relatively high genetic diversity in the population.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125314973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field work was conducted from March to April in 2006 and 2008, and from October to November in 2005 and 2008 in Dazhong Mountain, Yunnan Province, southwestern China. The se- lection of ecological factors was estimated by means of a resource selection index, distance analysis and the method of hierarchical habitat selection. The foraging habitat patches were modeled spatial- ly by ArcGIS. The results show that actual and potential foraging patches overlapped considerably in spring and autumn. The number and total areas of patches in the autumn were smaller than those in the spring. The minimum and average areas of patches in the autumn were larger than those in the spring, while the maximum areas of actual and potential foraging patches in the autumn were equal to those in the spring. Similarity in the selection for survival and safety consideration in both seasons was the main strategy for landscape factors of habitats by Hume's Pheasant, while seasonal difference in selecting a landscape matrix was their secondary strategy, affecting landscape factors in the habitat. Changes of foraging patches in both seasons reflect a difference of resources require - ment by the bird. Fragmentation and miniaturization of foraging patches would result in the forma- tion of a meta-population of Hume's Pheasant.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117033729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From March to June in 2005 and 2006, we investigated the nest-site selection of the Purple Swamphen in the Guangdong Haifeng Avian Natural Reserve, China. Nests were bowl- shaped or shallow cups with most of them constructed in hydrophyte clusters of Scirpus tabernae- montani. Distance to road and distance to water edge were significantly different between nest sites and non-nest sites and were important for determining nesting sites based on stepwise discriminant analysis. Our results suggest restoring and protecting the extant nesting areas is essential for effec- tive conservation of the Purple Swamphen in China.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125143694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
