Can the urban Tree Sparrow adapt to these changes? To elucidate this question, we studied the effect of urbanization on the abundance and distribution of Tree Sparrows in Beijing. We found the abundance of the Tree Sparrow negatively correlated with an urbanization score. Sparrow abundance was very low in residential areas with high-rise buildings, commercial centers and main roads, while their numbers were significantly higher in parks, university campuses, low building residential and suburban areas. Environmental factors within the 50 m and 200 m scales were most suitable in predicting the distribution of Tree Sparrows during winter, while factors with in 50 m and 400 m scales are suitable during the breeding season. During winter, the number of conifer trees and pedestrians were the major factors at the 50 m scale, while the area of high-rise buildings and vegetation become the predominant factors on a 200 m scale. Alternatively, during the breeding season the area of low buildings and the number of conifers and pedestrians were the main factors on the 50 m scale while the area of high-rise buildings and vegetation remained the most important factors on the 400 m scale. These results indicate that highly urbanized areas are not suitable habitats for the Tree Sparrow, although this species can adapt to human environments. Food and nest sites for urban birds should be considered in urban planning of big cities in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130976272","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}

The data were analyzed by maximum-likelihood analysis and Bayesian inference. The results demonstrate that the current genus Phylloscopus is non-monophyletic, while Seicercus is synonymized with Phylloscopus or is a group within the genus Phylloscopus. We may conclude that within Phylloscopus there are close relations between P. magnirostris and P. borealis; among P. proregulus, P. yunnanensis, P. pulcher and P. maculipennis, as well as among P. occisinensis, P. schwarzi, P. armandii, P. collybita and P. fuscatus. Monophyly of the genus Cettia could not be corroborated; it is closely related to the genera Abroscopus and Tesia. However monophyly of Acrocephalus is supported. Furthermore, the close relationships between Sylvia and Zosterops and among Prinia, Orthotomus and Cisticola are also supported.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126614408","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}

The largest colonies were recorded at Fengyunyan and Yanfu resorts, the smallest one at Luobolin. The Little Egret was the dominant nesting species (49.7% of the total number of nests) and the Grey Heron was the least abundant (0.1%). All nesting colonies were located in the northern and central parts of Guizhou; no colonies were found in the Leigongshan area, the southern part of this province. The distribution of nesting colonies in central Guizhou appears to he affected by the relative composition of winter (wheat and vegetable) and summer (rice) crops during the breeding season (between late March and June). No colonies were found around farmlands with winter crops and most colonies were situated around rice paddies. The farmland use pattern is affected by rainfall. The slimmer crop is delayed if the rainy season starts late and the rainfall is light. Priority for conservation of the Ardeids in central Guizhou should be given to the larger colonies i.e., Yanfu and Fengyunyan resorts.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122100238","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}

However, the phylogenetic relationship among species tends to become increasingly controversial as different genetic markers emerge. In our study, the partial mitochondrial genes cytochrome b (cyt b) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) were obtained from 15 species that included 10 tits, 4 long-tailed tits and a Chinese penduline tit. Analyses were conducted on the combined cyt b and COI sequences with maximum likelihood and Bayesian algorithms. Based on strong, congruent support among the different temporal partitions and models of sequence evolution, a highly resolved consensus of the relationships among Parids and their allies has been formed. The monophyly of Paridae and Remizidae is strongly supported. However, the monophyly of Paridae and Aegithalos is rejected. This agrees with previous studies using other molecular markers. Our results suggest the promotion of the subgenus Machlolophus from genus Parus to a separate genus. The phylogeny of Aegithalos is robust in the current study. However, by considering differences of both morphological and molecular characters within species, we conclude that more data are needed to define their phylogeny. Based on the patterns of taxonomic diversity and endemism, we suggest the southwestern mountain ranges of China might be the center of origin of the Aegithalos species. Divergence time estimates for the long-tailed tits range from the late Miocene to the Pleistocene (from 5.5 to 0.1 Mya) using a calibration of 2% divergence per million years. In a comparative sense, we found a congruent genetic differentiation among sympatric distribution taxa.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122817690","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}

Such differences in predator behavior can have profound effects on susceptibility of different species of prey to predation, but can also modify the behavior of prey. We investigated susceptibility of common birds to predation by domestic cats Felis catus, relying on an extensive data set on prey abundance and prey availability as determined by standardized bird counts. Susceptibility to cat predation for different species of birds was not significantly cor- related with susceptibility to predation by sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus, but with susceptibility to goshawk Accipiter gentilis predation. Susceptibility to goshawk predation was independently pre- dicted by susceptibility to cat and sparrowhawk predation. We cross-validated our estimate of sus- ceptibility to cat predation by showing that the frequency of birds with tail loss increased strongly with susceptibility to cat predation. Male birds were disproportionately preyed upon, especially if having song posts low in the vegetation, and if having short flight distances when singing. Colo- nially breeding species were less susceptible to predation than solitary species. Bird species with high levels of innate immune defense against bacterial infections had high susceptibility to cat predation. These findings suggest that predation by cats has been an important selection pressure affecting anti-predation behavior, sexual display and immune function in common birds.","PeriodicalId":227522,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Birds","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114700876","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}
