freshwater biodiversity is continuing to decline rapidly. To date there has been no formal …

Migratory birds rely on a habitat network along their migration routes by temporarily
occupying stopover sites between breeding and non‐breeding grounds. Removal or …

Habitat loss can trigger migration network collapse by isolating migratory bird breeding
grounds from nonbreeding grounds. Theoretically, habitat loss can have vastly different …

The distribution of wetland ecosystem restoration sites is uneven and resources are limited,
so priority identification is essential for rational resource allocation and reduction of …

Birds are sensitive to environmental change and thus good indicators of biodiversity and
ecosystem health. Because birds fill a variety of functional roles, understanding their …

Abstract The seasonally flooded Yangtze Valley Floodplain wetlands of China are globally
important for wintering waterbirds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. These birds have …

Extensive ephemeral wetlands at Poyang Lake, created by dramatic seasonal changes in
water level, constitute the main wintering site for migratory Anatidae in China. Reductions in …
