  • Genetic Structure of Taiga Bean Goose in Central Scandinavia
    Bird Conservation International, page 1 of 14. © BirdLife International, 2018 doi:10.1017/S0959270918000205 Birds of different feather flock together - genetic structure of Taiga Bean Goose in Central Scandinavia ADRIAAN DE JONG, ODDMUND KLEVEN, JAN EIVIND ØSTNES, ROLF TERJE KROGLUND, ISAK VAHLSTRÖM, JAN NILSSON and GÖRAN SPONG Summary During their flightless summer moult, Taiga Bean Geese Anser fabalis fabalis gather at commu- nal moulting sites. Individuals from the Nord-Trøndelag breeding area in Norway have been observed to join with local individuals on moulting sites in Vilhelmina Municipality, Sweden. These two groups show distinct features in breeding habitat and migratory behaviour, but are they also genetically distinct? We used 12 microsatellite loci for genotyping 109 blood, feather and faecal samples from three sampling areas (Røyrvik in Norway and Stalon and Nästansjö in Sweden) to examine genetic diversity and structure. Clustering and Principal Coordinate analyses of all samples unveiled at least two distinct clusters, which were unevenly distributed over the sampling sites. Grouped by sampling sites, AMOVA and FST analyses showed that samples from the three sites differed genetically. These differences were larger between Røyrvik and Nästansjö than between Stalon and the other two. Relatedness was high among the Røyrvik samples. From our results we conclude that one of the clusters describes the Røyrvik breeding subpopulation, while the other(s) breed mainly in Sweden. Although these subpopulations simultaneously use the same moulting area in Vilhelmina, they appear to be ecologically, behaviourally and genetically distinct, in particular the Røyrvik sub-population. For goose conservation and management, we suggest that the Nord-Trøndelag (Røyrvik) subpopulation is considered a separate flyway man- agement unit.

  • Recent Introgression Between Taiga Bean Goose and Tundra Bean Goose Results in a Largely Homogeneous Landscape of Genetic Differentiation
    Heredity (2020) 125:73–84 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41437-020-0322-z ARTICLE Recent introgression between Taiga Bean Goose and Tundra Bean Goose results in a largely homogeneous landscape of genetic differentiation 1 2 3 1 Jente Ottenburghs ● Johanna Honka ● Gerard J. D. M. Müskens ● Hans Ellegren Received: 12 December 2019 / Revised: 11 May 2020 / Accepted: 12 May 2020 / Published online: 26 May 2020 © The Author(s) 2020. This article is published with open access Abstract Several studies have uncovered a highly heterogeneous landscape of genetic differentiation across the genomes of closely related species. Specifically, genetic differentiation is often concentrated in particular genomic regions (“islands of differentiation”) that might contain barrier loci contributing to reproductive isolation, whereas the rest of the genome is homogenized by introgression. Alternatively, linked selection can produce differentiation islands in allopatry without introgression. We explored the influence of introgression on the landscape of genetic differentiation in two hybridizing goose taxa: the Taiga Bean Goose (Anser fabalis) and the Tundra Bean Goose (A. serrirostris). We re-sequenced the whole 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: genomes of 18 individuals (9 of each taxon) and, using a combination of population genomic summary statistics and demographic modeling, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of these birds. Next, we quantified the impact of introgression on the build-up and maintenance of genetic differentiation. We found evidence for a scenario of allopatric divergence (about 2.5 million years ago) followed by recent secondary contact (about 60,000 years ago). Subsequent introgression events led to high levels of gene flow, mainly from the Tundra Bean Goose into the Taiga Bean Goose.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A survey and study of geese wintering at the East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve, China, in February 2008 revealed internationally important numbers of Lesser White-fronted Geese Anser erythropus, Greater White-fronted Geese Anser albifrons and Bean Geese Anser fabilis using the site, as well as small numbers of Greylag Geese Anser anser. Only five Swan Geese Anser cygnoides were recorded, compared with several hundreds in the 1990s. Globally important numbers of Lesser White-fronted Geese spend the majority of daylight hours feeding on short grassland and sedge meadows within the core reserve areas of the National Nature Reserve, and also roost there at night. Greater White-fronted Geese were not studied in detail, but showed similar behaviour. Large numbers of Bean Geese of both serrirostris and middendorffi races showed differing feeding strategies. The small numbers of serrirostris tended to roost and feed in or near the reserve on short grassland, as did small proportions of middendorffi. However, the majority of middendorffi slept within the confines of the reserve by day and flew out at dusk, to nocturnal feeding areas at least 40 km north on the far side of the Yangtze River, returning 40–80 min after first light.

  • The Mystery of Anser Neglectus Sushkin, 1897. Victim of the Tunguska Disaster? a Hungarian Story

A Hungarian story Jacques VAN IMPE Received: April 08, 2019 – Revised: August 10, 2019 – Accepted: October 31, 2019 Van Impe, J. 2019. The mystery of Anser neglectus Sushkin, 1897. Victim of the Tunguska dis- aster? A Hungarian story. – Ornis Hungarica 27(2): 20–58. DOI: 10.2478/orhu-2019-0014 Abstract The well-known Russian ornithologist Prof. Peter Sushkin described it as a distinct species from Bashkortostan (Bashkiria) in 1897, a highly acclaimed discovery. However, its breeding grounds never been discovered. Since then, there has been a long-standing debate over the taxonom- ic position of Anser neglectus. Taxonomists have argued that Anser neglectus belongs to the group of A. fabalis Lath. because of its close resemblance with A. f. fabalis. At the beginning of the 20th century, large numbers of the Sushkin’s goose were observed in three winter quar- ters: on two lakes in the Republic of Bachkortostan, in the surroundings of the town of Tashkent in the Republic Uzbekistan, and in the puszta Hortobágy in eastern Hungary. It is a pity that taxonomists did not thoroughly com- pare the Russian and Hungarian ornithological papers concerning the former presence of Anser neglectus in these areas, because these rich sources refer to characteristics that would cast serious doubt on the classification ofAns - er neglectus as a subspecies, an individual variation or mutation of A. f. fabalis. Sushkin’s goose, though a typical Taiga Bean Goose, distinguished itself from other taxa of the Bean Goose by its plumage, its field identification, by its specific “Gé-gé” call, the size of its bill, and by its preference for warm and dry winter haunts.

  • Identification of Tundra and Taiga Bean Goose
    © Seppo Ekelund Identification of Tundra and Taiga Bean Goose The Taiga Bean Goose (Anser fabalis fabalis) and Tundra Bean Goose (Anser fabalis rossicus) are difficult to separate in the field, and some individuals will always be impossible to assign to subspecies based on visual characteristics alone. Separation between subspecies is mainly based on the colouration and shape of the head and bill. Good views of foraging or resting flocks and inspection of shot birds will usually allow for subspecies identification. In field conditions the bill of Taiga Bean Goose usually looks rather orange-yellow and low-lined, and the head-bill combination thus long and low- lined. The head of Tundra Bean Goose looks rounder and darker than the neck, while the bill looks dark and heavy. In field counts the longer neck and more elegant characteristics of Taiga Bean Goose are also good to look for. The Challenge: Correctly Identifying Bean Goose Subspecies Taiga Bean Goose Tundra Bean Goose young adult Beaks of Taiga and Tundra Bean Goose juvenile and adult birds. © Antti Piironen Bill shape and colouration are often the most useful characters to study and may be used for identification of both live and dead birds. In Taiga Bean Goose, the bill is rather long and slim, with a straight or slightly concave lower mandible. Often a large part of the bill is orange-yellow, with a varying amount of black extending from the base. In Tundra Bean Goose, the orange-yellow part of the bill is usually restricted to a narrow band across the bill, and the bill is shorter and heavier.

  • Is Intestinal Bacterial Diversity Enhanced by Trans-Species
    animals Article Is Intestinal Bacterial Diversity Enhanced by Trans-Species Spread in the Mixed-Species Flock of Hooded Crane (Grus monacha) and Bean Goose (Anser fabalis) Wintering in the Lower and Middle Yangtze River Floodplain? Zhuqing Yang 1,2 and Lizhi Zhou 1,2,* 1 School of Resources and Environmental Engineering, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China; [email protected] 2 Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Wetland Ecological Protection and Restoration, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Intestinal microbes play an indispensable role in host physiology and their alteration can produce serious effects on vertebrates. In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of intestinal bacterial community of hooded crane and bean goose whose niches overlap at Shengjin Lake, China, and investigated how host internal factors and inter-species interactions affected the diversity and spread of intestinal bacteria of the two species over three wintering periods. We have found that direct or indirect contact with each other increased the diversity of host intestinal bacteria and caused bacteria to spread among species in the mixed-species flock. In addition, a total of 63 pathogens were identified, of which 38 (60.3%) were found in the gut of both species. These findings could help our understanding of the factors that influence gut bacteria in wild waterbirds, Citation: Yang, Z.; Zhou, L. which are also major contributors to the spread of pathogens worldwide. Is Intestinal Bacterial Diversity Enhanced by Trans-Species Spread in Abstract: Diversity of gut microbes is influenced by many aspects, including the host internal factors the Mixed-Species Flock of Hooded and even direct or indirect contact with other birds, which is particularly important for mixed-species Crane (Grus monacha) and Bean Goose wintering waterbird flocks.

Although there is no crescent of color on the upper-tail coverts and the wings do not produce special sounds in flight, the upper surface of the wing does flash a brilliant white when the bird is flying. The species occurs from the southern tip of the United States through most of South America, and two subspecies are recognized. It is broadly sympatric with the fulvous and the white- faced whistling duck, and possibly also with the Cuban. Hybrids with all these species have been obtained in captivity. General behavior. The red-billed whistling duck is a highly vocal and noisy bird, and its usual call is more musical than that of any other whistling duck. The call consists of from five to seven notes, and can be written as whech, wha-cW-whe-whewhew or whech, wha-chew-whew-whew'.
