Multi-marker DNA metabarcoding reveals spatial and sexual variation in the diet of a scarce woodland bird

Ewan H. Stenhouse et al.

Summary: The avian diet is influenced by specific site factors and intrinsic factors such as sex, leading to dietary niche separation and impacting adaptation to environmental variation. Limited knowledge of woodland bird diets hampers understanding of their declining populations. A study on UK Hawfinches using fecal metabarcoding revealed varied diet among individuals and sexes, indicating their ability to utilize multiple resources.

Association between diet and the gut microbiome of young captive red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis)

Wei Xu et al.

Summary: This study explores the association of diet and indoor and outdoor environments with the gut microbiome of red-crowned cranes. The findings suggest that the gut microbiome of red-crowned cranes can adapt to changes in diet and environment. Therefore, reducing the proportion of live mealworms in the initial feeding stage is recommended to minimize the negative impact of high-protein and high-fat foods on the gut microbiome and growth and development of red-crowned cranes.

Molecular diet analysis of common cranes (Grus grus) under supplementary feeding based on fecal DNA metabarcoding

Xinyi Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, DNA metabarcoding was used to investigate the diets of common cranes and the effects of supplementary feeding. The results showed that common cranes prefer plants of the families Poaceae and Cyperaceae, and their diet preferences and foraging locations can be influenced by supplementary feeding. Therefore, appropriate supplementary feeding measures and more feeding sites should be implemented in the nature reserve.

Metabarcoding of feces and intestinal contents to determine carnivorous diets in red-crowned cranes in eastern Hokkaido, Japan

Haruka Kataoka et al.

Summary: The red-crowned crane in Hokkaido, Japan is an independent population with a diverse diet of fish, insects, and plants. DNA metabarcoding was used to study the diet of the cranes, and it was found that both insects and fish were consumed by adults and subadults, while insects were the predominant food for chicks. The study provides important data for the conservation of red-crowned cranes in eastern Hokkaido.

Using faecal metabarcoding to examine consumption of crop pests and beneficial arthropods in communities of generalist avian insectivores

Megan Garfinkel et al.

Summary: Through fecal metabarcoding, it was found that birds in an agricultural landscape consumed a wide variety of prey, with significant differences in diet composition among species and sites, suggesting opportunistic feeding behavior. This indicates that birds may be able to effectively respond to pest outbreaks and contribute to agricultural resiliency.

Plant- and Animal-Based Protein-Rich Foods and Cardiovascular Health

Yu Wang et al.

Summary: Recent randomized controlled feeding trials have shown that consuming plant- and animal-based protein-rich foods plays a significant role in cardiovascular health of adults. However, overall diet quality appears to have a greater impact on improving cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors than the intake of a single protein-rich food. Assessing the long-term CVD risk associated with the intake of a single protein-rich food as part of a dietary pattern is methodologically challenging.

Winners and losers of land use change: A systematic review of interactions between the world's crane species (Gruidae) and the agricultural sector

Karoline Hemminger et al.

Summary: The study shows that while some crane populations are increasing, there are also significant declines in others. Damage to agricultural crops by cranes is not common, although a considerable proportion of crane interactions involve foraging in croplands. The ability of crane species to adapt to agricultural land use changes may play a key role in their population response.

Changes in the Diversity and Composition of Gut Microbiota of Red-Crowned Cranes (Grus japonensis) after Avian Influenza Vaccine and Anthelmintic Treatment

Xinyi Zhao et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota of red-crowned cranes is resilient to the avian influenza vaccine and anthelmintic treatment, even though it may be disrupted in the short term. However, it can recover and reach homeostasis over time. The composition and diversity of the gut microbiota underwent changes after the treatment, but tended to stabilize in the short term. The study suggests the need for more controlled experiments to contribute to animal disease control and optimal management in zoos.

Genetic Diversity and Differentiation of MHC Class I Genes in Red-Crowned Crane Populations

Nan Xu et al.

Summary: The red-crowned crane has been demoted to vulnerable species as its populations have stabilized in Japan and Korea. This study assessed variations in MHC I exon 3 of captive G. japonensis in China and compared it with cranes from Japan. The Chinese population had more alleles and higher variation, with no significant geographical differentiation. Positive selection of antigen-binding sites was also observed.

Analysis of COVID-19 data using neutrosophic Kruskal Wallis H test

Rehan Ahmad Khan Sherwani et al.

Summary: The Kruskal-Wallis H test is a well-known nonparametric alternative in classical statistics for comparing equality of means, but is limited when dealing with interval-valued data. A modified version of the test has been proposed in this research to address indeterminacy data, showing more relevant and adequate results, particularly in situations involving uncertainty and imprecision.

Summary: Studies on barley yellow mosaic disease (BYMD) resistance in barley have identified six quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to resistance, with two novel QTL discovered. These findings provide potential new sources for developing pre-breeding barley materials with resistance to BYMD.

Summary: In this study, the researchers sequenced the full-length unreferenced transcriptome of red-crowned cranes for the first time using a PacBio Sequel platform. After correcting the PacBio sequencing data with Illumina data, they identified important genetic information and discovered differences in the expression of lncRNAs and TFs in various tissues of the cranes, as well as enriched immune-related pathways in the spleen.

Heavy metals and health risk of rice sampled in Yangtze River Delta, China

Jian Lin et al.

Summary: The study found that some brown rice samples exceeded the safe limits for cadmium and mercury, with higher concentrations in rice from Nanjing and Jiaxing. Cadmium and mercury were more accumulated in hybrid rice, but the risk from rice consumption was relatively low. It is recommended to cultivate conventional rice to reduce the risk of heavy metal exposure in the Yangtze River Delta.

Influences of submerged plant collapse on diet composition, breadth, and overlap among four crane species at Poyang Lake, China

Jinjin Hou et al.

Summary: The study found that Vallisneria tubers are important food sources for crane species at Poyang Lake, while grassland plants are also significant. Agricultural fields become important foraging sites during food shortages, but cranes prefer natural wetlands when food is abundant. The abundance of tubers greatly influences the dietary compositions, breadths, and overlap of cranes.
