The role of landscape in shaping bird community and implications for landscape management at Nanjing Lukou International Airport.

Understanding the patterns of bird diversity and its driving force is necessary for bird strike prevention. In this study, we investigated the effects of landscape on phylogenetic and functional diversity of bird communities at Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NLIA). Bird identifications and counting of individuals were carried out from November 2017 to October 2019.

Comparative Mitogenomics of True Frogs (Ranidae, Anura), and Its Implications for the Phylogeny and Evolutionary History of .

The true frogs of the genus are a complex and diverse group, containing approximately 60 species with wide distribution across Eurasia and the Americas. Recently, many new species have been discovered with the help of molecular markers and morphological traits. However, the evolutionary history in was not well understood and might be limited by the absence of mitogenome information.

The complete mitochondrial genome of grey plover (Charadriiformes, charadriidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of grey plover was obtained by next-generation sequencing. The circular genome was 16,860 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The overall nucleotide composition was A: 30.
