Metagenomics analysis of the fecal microbiota in Ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) and Green pheasants (Phasianus versicolor) using next generation sequencing

Syed Mohsin Bukhari et al.

Summary: Pheasant reintroduction and conservation efforts in Pakistan have been ongoing since the 1980s, but there is still limited data on pheasant microbiome and zoonosis. In this study, metagenomic analysis and classification were used to analyze the fecal microbiome of green and ring neck pheasants. The results showed that firmicutes were the most abundant phylum, and Bacillus was the most relatively abundant genus. Bird droppings contain germs from various anatomical sites, making simultaneous research challenging.

Using ensemble modeling to predict breeding habitat of the red-listed Western Tragopan (Tragopan melanocephalus) in the Western Himalayas of Pakistan

Muhammad Naeem Awan et al.

Summary: Quantifying the geographic range of a species is crucial for effective conservation management, as seen in the case of the Western Tragopan in Pakistan. The developed model predicted potential breeding habitat, with only 2.6% being highly suitable, indicating the urgent need for protection measures to prevent further habitat deterioration for this globally threatened species.

Distribution modelling and climate change risk assessment strategy for rare Himalayan Galliformes species using archetypal data abundant cohorts for adaptation planning

Priyamvada Bagaria et al.

Summary: Using a macroecological approach, this study successfully modeled the distribution of species in the Himalayan arc and assessed the impacts of climate change on their distribution. Out of 34 Galliformes species in the region, 21 were included in the study and analyzed using various modeling frameworks. Precipitation emerged as a significant driving factor for all clusters, with the Random Forest model performing best across the different groups.
