SMIRENSKI The middle reaches of the Amur River in Far East Russia are still an under-surveyed region, yet holding a very high regional biodiversity. During a six-year survey at Muraviovka Park, a non-governmental nature reserve, 271 bird species have been recorded, 14 of which are globally threatened, highlighting the importance of this area for bird conservation. INTRODUCTION RESULTS Recent studies have shown that East Asia and especially the Amur A total of 271 species was recorded inside Muraviovka Park between basin hold huge numbers of endangered species, and the region was 2011 and 2016; 24 species are listed as Near Treatened (NT), designated as a hotspot of threatened biodiversity (e.g. Vignieri 2014).

Despite having a rich avifauna in Iran, limited number of studies have been conducted on lice fauna of wild birds in this region. This study was carried out to identify lice species of passerine birds in East of Iran. A total of 106 passerine birds of 37 species were captured. Their bodies were examined for lice infestation. Fifty two birds (49.05%) of 106 captured birds were infested. Overall 465 lice were collected from infested birds and 11 lice species were identified as follow: Brueelia chayanh on Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), B.

  • Turkey Birding Eastern Anatolia Th Th 10 June to 20 June 2021 (11 Days)
    Turkey Birding Eastern Anatolia th th 10 June to 20 June 2021 (11 days) Caspian Snowcock by Alihan Vergiliel Turkey, a country the size of Texas, is a spectacular avian and cultural crossroads. This fascinating nation boasts an ancient history, from even before centuries of Greek Roman and Byzantine domination, through the 500-year Ottoman Empire and into the modern era. Needless to say, with such a pedigree the country holds some very impressive archaeological and cultural sites. Our tour of Eastern Turkey starts in the eastern city of Van, formerly known as Tuspa and 3,000 years ago the capital city of the Urartians. Today there are historical structures from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, and Urartian artifacts can be seen at its archaeological museum. RBL Turkey Itinerary 2 However, it is the birds that are of primary interest to us as here, at the eastern limits of the Western Palearctic, we expect to find some very special and seldom-seen species, including Mountain ‘Caucasian’ Chiffchaff, Green Warbler, Mongolian Finch and Grey-headed Bunting. Around the shores of Lake Van we will seek out Moustached and Paddyfield Warblers in the dense reed beds, while on the lake itself, our targets include Marbled Teal, the threatened White-headed Duck, Dalmatian Pelican, Pygmy Cormorant and Armenian Gull, plus a selection of waders that may include Terek and Broad-billed Sandpiper. As we move further north-east into the steppe and semi desert areas, we will attempt to find Great Bustards and Demoiselle Cranes, with a potential supporting cast of Montagu’s Harrier, Steppe Eagle, the exquisite Citrine Wagtail and Twite, to name but a few.

  • A Guide to the Mammals of Beijing Feb 2018
    A Guide to the Mammals of Beijing Last update 8 March 2018 Terry Townshend A GUIDE TO THE MAMMALS OF BEIJING "1 Introduction This guide has been collated to help residents and visitors to Beijing interested in specifically looking for mammals and/or identifying any species they record through casual observations. Given the lack of english-language resources and data this guide is certainly not comprehensive and reflects only a partial summary of the mammals in the capital. At the moment it includes information about only some of the orders and families. For example, mice, rats, voles, shrews, moles and bats are not included; as information is discovered or made available, the guide will be updated to rectify as many of these omissions as possible. Please contact Birding Beijing if you can help improve the information contained in this guide in any way. Individual sightings of any mammal in Beijing are also of interest. Please send any details, including species, location, date and time via email to [email protected]. Thank you. Format The list of mammals follows the order of “A Guide to the Mammals of China” by Andrew T Smith and Yan Xie1, the best reference guide to mammals in China. The format includes English name, scientific name, Chinese name and ‘pinyin’ (the Romanisation of Chinese characters based on their pronunciation). Photos are included where available together with a short paragraph about the status in Beijing. 1 Smith, Andrew T and Xie, Yan, “A Guide to the Mammals of China”, Princeton University Press, 2008 A GUIDE TO THE MAMMALS OF BEIJING "2 The Mammals Rhesus Macaque – Macaca mulatta – 猕猴 – Mi Hou Historically thought to have occurred in Beijing and today occasionally seen in Fangshan District, although sightings are thought to involve animals introduced for tourism purposes.

Recent work on fish environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding shows that aquatic diversity can be captured fast, reliably, and non-invasively at moderate costs. Because water in a catchment flows to the lowest point in the landscape, often a stream, it can col- lect traces of terrestrial species via surface or subsurface runoff along its way or when specimens come into direct contact with water (e.g., when drinking). Thus, fish eDNA metabarcoding data can provide information on fish but also on other vertebrate species that live in riparian habitats. This additional data may offer a much more comprehensive approach for assessing vertebrate diversity at no additional costs. Studies on how the sampling strategy affects species detection especially of stream-associated communities, however, are scarce. We therefore performed an analysis on the effects of biological replication on both fish as well as (semi-)terrestrial species detection.

  • Wildlife Protection in Mongolia by R
    196 Oryx Wildlife Protection in Mongolia By R. A. Hibbert CMG Although the Mongolian People's Republic, last refuge of the Przewalski wild horse, is one of the most thinly populated countries in the world, the wildlife decreased considerably in the 30's and 40's. There has been some improvement in recent years, and the Game Law now gives protection to nearly all mammals—the few exceptions include the wolf, understandably in a country with vast herds of domestic animals. Mr. Hibbert, who was British Charge d'Affaires at Ulan Bator from 1964 to 1966, and has since spent a year at Leeds University working on Mongolian materials, assesses the status of the major species of mammals, birds and fish, and describes the game laws. HE Mongolian People's Republic is a huge country with a very T small population. Its area is just over H million square kilometres, its population just over 1,100,000. This gives an average population density of 0-7 per square kilometre or allowing for the concentration of nearly a quarter of the population in the capital at Ulan Bator, a density in rural areas of 0-5 per square kilometre. This seems to be a record low density for a sovereign state. The density of domestic animals—sheep, goats, cows and yaks, horses, camels—is much higher. There are some 24 million domestic animals in the herds, which gives an average density of 15 per square kilometre. Even so, the figures suggest that there is still plenty of room for wild life.
