Life-history theory predicts that parents refer to the resources they hold to determine their breeding strategy. In multi-brooded species, it is hypot......
Because migration is highly time-constrained and migration timing varies among individuals, the responses of migrants to food shortage at a refuelling......

Telemetry data from sympatric Eastern Tundra Bean Geese Anser serrirostris captured on their winter quarters in the Yangtze River Floodplain, China, t......
We collected multi-locus data to test whether hybridization has occurred between a critically endangered waterbird, the Chinese Crested Tern Thalasseu......
In this study, we used mitochondrial control sequences and microsatellite data from 231 Common Moorhen Gallinula chloropus individuals sampled from 19......
It is common in birds that the sizes of nestlings vary greatly when multiple young are produced in one nest. However, the methods used by parents to e......
Parent birds show a continuous spectrum of breeding strategies, ranging from a low-fecundity and high-survival pattern to a high-fecundity, low-surviv......
The Rufous-headed Robin Larvivora ruficeps is one of the world's rarest and least known birds. We summarize the known records since it was first descr......
The Common Pheasant Phasianus colchicus is widely distributed in temperate to subtropical regions of the Palaearctic realm. Populations of Common Phea......
Knowledge of cooperative breeding in birds from longitudinal studies is available only for a small proportion of species. This paper reports data from......
