South Korea is an important region in the East Asian-Australasian flyway, inhabited by various migratory birds. In this study, previous research on avian migration routes in South Korea was systematically analyzed, and research trends and characteristics were determined. Among 64 peer-reviewed papers, the number of papers by year has gradually increased since the 2000s. Land birds were the most extensively studied, followed by wading birds, raptors, waterfowl, multiple waterbird groups, and shorebirds. Among the research methods, wildlife tracking devices were most commonly used (<em>n</em> = 32), followed by direct visual observation (<em>n</em> = 19), bird banding (<em>n</em> = 10), and stable isotope analysis (SIA; <em>n</em> = 3). Sinan-gun, a Korean island, received the greatest attention; several studies have been conducted across various regions throughout South Korea. Text mining showed that the following terms were frequently used and strongly correlated: ‘home’, ‘range’, ‘breeding’, ‘wintering’, ‘island’, ‘area’, and ‘habitat’.

In this study, we used 124 samples from 15 sites in rivers and lakes in the western, northern, and eastern parts of Mongolia to clarify their phylogenetic relationships. Our Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood trees support the existence of seven species of graylings in Mongolia, including <em>Thymallus brevirostris, Thymallus nigrescens, Thymallus svetovidovi, Thymallus grubii, Thymallus arcticus,</em> and new for the country <em>Thymallus brevicephalus</em> and <em>Thymallus baicalensis</em>.
