| deep south-north genetic divergence in godlewski's bunting (emberiza godlewskii) related to uplift of the qinghai-tibet plateau and habitat preferences. | geological events and climatic changes played important roles in shaping population differentiation and distribution within species. in china, populations in many species have contracted and expanded responding to environmental changes with the uplift of the qinghai-tibet plateau (qtp) and glacial cycles during pleistocene. in this study, we analysed the population structure of godlewski's bunting, emberiza godlewskii, to determine the effects of major historical events, geographic barriers and ... | 2019 | 31370783 |
| high prevalence and narrow host range of haemosporidian parasites in godlewski's bunting (emberiza godlewskii) in northern china. | avian haemosporidian parasites are highly diverse, have a wide range of host specificity, and reveal diverse compatibility with regard to host range and geographical distribution. therefore, understanding haemosporidian parasite diversity in different host species and different regions is crucial. a survey of the haemosporidian parasite in 186 godlewski's buntings in beijing was conducted to compare infection patterns between godlewski's bunting, local passerines and the global avian host. high ... | 2019 | 30240871 |
