| 1 | Identification of coastal wetlands of international importance for waterbirds:a review of China Coastal Waterbird Surveys 2005–2013显示文摘Background:China's coastal wetlands belong to some of the most threatened ecosystems worldwide.The loss and degradation of these wetlands seriously threaten waterbirds that depend on wetlands.Methods:The China Coastal Waterbird Census was organized by volunteer birdwatchers in China's coastal region.Waterbirds were surveyed synchronously once every month at 14 sites,as well as irregularly at a further 18 sites,between September 2005 and December 2013.Results:A total of 75 species of waterbirds met the 1 % population level Ramsar listing criterion at least once at one site.The number of birds of the following species accounted for over 20 % of the total flyway populations at a single site:Mute Swan(Cygnus olor),Siberia Crane(Grus leucogeranus),Far Eastern Oystercatcher(Haematopus osculans),Bar-tailed Godwit(Limosa lapponica),Spotted Greenshank(Tringa guttifer),Great Knot(Calidris tenuirostris),Spoon-billed Sandpiper(Calidris pygmeus),Saunders' s Gull(Larus saundersi),Relict Gull(Larus relictus),Great Cormorant(Phalacrocorax carbo),Eurasian Spoonbill(Platalea leucorodia),Black-faced Spoonbill(Platalea minor) and Dalmatian Pelican(Pelecanus crispus).A total of 26 sites supported at least one species of which their number met the1 % criterion.Forty-two species met the 1 % criterion in the Yellow River Delta,Shandong;29 at the Cangzhou coast,Hebei and 26 species at the Lianyungang coast,Jiangsu.Conclusions:The results highlight the international importance of China's coastal wetlands for waterbirds.This study also demonstrates that participation of local birdwatchers in waterbird surveys results in data that are invaluable not only for understanding the current status of waterbirds in China's coastal regions but also for waterbird conservation and management. | Qingquan Bai Jianzhong Chen Zhihong Chen Guotai Dong Jiangtian Dong Wenxiao Dong Vivian Wing Kan Fu Yongxiang Han Gang Lu Jing Li Yang Liu Zhi Lin Derong Meng Jonathan Martinez Guanghui Ni Kai Shan Renjie Sun Suixing Tian Fengqin Wang Zhiwei Xu Yat-tung Yu Jin Yang Zhidong Yang Lin Zhang Ming Zhang Xiangwu Zeng | 2015 | Chinese Birds2015，，3： | 20 |
| 2 | Genome and Comparative Transcriptomics of African Wild Rice Oryza Iongistaminata Provide Insights into Molecular Mechanism of Rhizomatousness and Self-Incompatibility显示文摘Dear Editor, Oryza Iongistaminata is an African wild rice species with AA genome type possessing special traits that are highly valued for improving cultivated rice,such as strong resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses (Song et al.,1995) for improving resistance of cultivars,rhizomatousness for perennial breeding (Glover et al.,2010),and self-incompatibility (SI) for new ways to produce hybrid seeds (Ghesquiere,1986).Deciphering the genome of O.longistaminata will be the key to uncovering the mechanism of these hallmark traits and improving cultivated rice. | Yesheng Zhang Shilai Zhang Hui Liu Binying Fu Lijuan Li Min Xie Yue Song Xin Li Jing Cai Wenting Wan Ling Kui Hui Huang Jun Lyu Yang Dong Wensheng Wang Liyu Fluang Jing Zhang Qinzhong Yang Qinfi Shan Qiong Li Wangqi Huang Dayun Tao Muhua Wang Mingsheng Chen Yeisoo Yu Rod A.
