Moult patterns and strategies of birds are crucial for understanding their life-history trade-offs and adaptations to the environment. However, moult knowledge is still lacking for many Eastern Palaearctic birds, especially large endangered species, mainly because of the difficulty in data collection. Here, we used field photography, a non-invasive method, to detect and score moult in the endangered Crested Ibis (<em>Nipponia nippon</em>) and explored the moult timing variations and moult-breeding trade-offs. The adult Crested Ibis sequentially moults its primaries outward, and secondaries inward from three foci from April to October. Age (adult versus sub-adult) and breeding status (breeding or not) have a significant effect on moult timing. Moult timing does not differ between the sexes, likely because of similar parental investments in breeding. Crested Ibis exhibits significant moult-breeding overlap, because moult is time constrained and needs to finish before the season of food scarcity in winter. Breeding timing (first egg laying date) has a strong impact on moult duration, with late breeders experiencing a longer moult duration, indicating that the moult intensity is slowed down during the breeding period because of trade-offs between moult and breeding. This reflects that energy allocation of late breeders is challenging during extensive periods of moult-breeding overlap, which might partly contribute to their high breeding failure. Our results strongly suggest the existence of a negative relationship between breeding time on one hand, and fitness and moult on the other: early breeders show higher reproductive output and higher quality plumage, whereas late breeders show lower reproductive output and lower quality plumage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51311,"journal":{"name":"Avian Research","volume":"16 2","pages":"Article 100250"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143847349","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}

Both peripheral and central auditory-vocal pathways are essential for precisely integrating acoustic signals, ensuring effective communication. Like humans, songbirds exhibit vocal learning behaviors supported by complex neural mechanisms. However, unlike most mammals, songbirds possess the remarkable ability to regenerate damaged auditory cells. These capabilities offer unique opportunities to explore how birds adjust their vocal behavior and auditory processing in response to dynamic environmental conditions. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the plasticity of avian vocal communication system, yet the vocal diversity and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying vocalization and hearing have often been examined independently. A comprehensive overview of how these systems interact and adapt in birds remains lacking. To address this gap, this review synthesizes the peripheral and central features of avian vocalization and hearing, while also exploring the mechanisms that drive the remarkable plasticity of these systems. Furthermore, it explores seasonal variations in bird vocalization and hearing and adaptations to environmental noise, focusing on how hormonal, neural, and ecological factors together shape vocal behavior and auditory sensitivity. Avian vocal communication systems present an exceptional model for studying the integration of peripheral and central vocal-auditory pathways and their adaptive responses to ever-changing environments. This review underscores the dynamic interactions between avian vocal communication systems and environmental stimuli, offering new insights into broader principles of sensory processing, and neuroplasticity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51311,"journal":{"name":"Avian Research","volume":"16 2","pages":"Article 100248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143834536","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}

Where feather count increases with increasing ulna length then vane width should exhibit negative allometry. Vane length should also correlate with ulna length, irrespective of the number of feathers. Data were compiled from an online library of images for the vane length and the width of the vane at 50% of the vane length for the fifth secondary feather for 209 bird species from 24 different orders. The results supported the hypotheses that vane width is a function of ulna size, and the number of secondary feathers as associated with different orders. Vane length was unaffected by the number of secondaries but varied between orders. The results suggest that birds have solved the problem of maintaining the aerodynamic surface of the proximal wing in two ways. Hence as ulna length increases the first solution involves more feathers that exhibit negative allometry for vane width, or in the second where feather count doesn't change, the vane width simply scales isometrically.

Forests in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) serve as important habitats for many rare and endemic birds. Understanding the conservation efficiency of NFPP implementation on these birds holds significant practical significance. In this study, we utilized land use change matrices to analyze the forest changes in the QTP before and after NFPP implementation, predicted the potential spatial distribution of 16 nationally protected birds using Species Distribution Models (SDMs), and compared the impacts of this project on bird habitats under different carbon emission scenarios. Mann-Whitney <em>U</em> tests were employed to analyze the adaptation of different birds to forest changes during NFPP implementation. Our results showed that NFPP protected 172,398 km<sup>2</sup> of primary forests and added 6379 km<sup>2</sup> of secondary forests in our study area. The potential spatial distribution and sympatric species richness of the 16 protected birds slightly increased after NFPP implementation under different climate change scenarios, and NFPP implementation contributed to improving the potential spatial distribution of birds. Compared to newly established secondary forests, protected primary forests exhibited enhanced conservation for forest birds (<em>Z</em><em>-</em>value &gt; 0 for six bird species, <em>P</em> &lt; 0.1), while being less suitable for non-forest birds (significantly unsuitable for three non-forest bird species, <em>Z</em><em>-</em>value &lt; 0, <em>P</em> &lt; 0.05; non-significantly unsuitable for four non-forest bird species, <em>Z</em><em>-</em>value &lt; 0, <em>P</em> &gt; 0.1). This indicates that the protection of primary forests during NFPP implementation benefits forest bird conservation while the addition of secondary forests is beneficial to non-forest birds.

Our aim was to determine whether plumage coloration in this social, abundant, and widely distributed species is a signal used in mate choice and establishment of hierarchies. We predicted that there was intrasexual chromatic variation in crown and throat, and that individuals with higher saturation, regardless of sex, would be preferred by opposite sex and they would be dominant in intrasexual aggressive interactions, reflecting better condition. We quantified the reflectance of the crown and throat with visible and ultraviolet light (300–700 nm) subsequent to the molecular sex determination of each individual. Our results suggest that the chromatic variation in the crown and throat is explained by the perception of medium and long wavelengths in both sexes. Additionally, saturation is the color characteristic that best explains the chromatic variation. We formed duos of individuals based on chromatic contrast and conducted 23 mate choice experiments and 21 dominance experiments. The analysis of spectra and experiments revealed that dominance in males was associated with less saturated crowns.
