Article
Canchao Yang, Auteur ; Jiajia Wang, Auteur ; Wei Liang, AuteurVisual sensitivity in ultraviolet (UV) light is widespread in the animal kingdom and occurs in all major taxonomic groups, including birds, which possess UV-sensitive photoreceptors and thus perceive UV light and use it in food selection, mate c[...]
Article
Xin Lu, Auteur ; Tonglei Yu, Auteur ; Wei Liang, Auteur ; Canchao Yang, AuteurColder, unpredictable climates, and reduced food availability at high altitudes impose strong selective pressures that have driven the evolution of avian life histories. To fully understand this issue, data concerning the comparative demography [...]
Article
Longwu Wang, Auteur ; Wei Liang, Auteur ; Canchao Yang, Auteur ; Shun-Jen Cheng, Auteur ; Yu-Cheng Hsu, Auteur ; Xin Lu, AuteurAvian hosts of brood parasites can evolve anti-parasitic defenses to recognize and reject foreign eggs from their nests. Theory predicts that higher inter-clutch and lower intra-clutch variation in egg appearance facilitates hosts to detect para[...]

Canchao Yang, Auteur ; Bard G. Stokke, Auteur ; Anton Antonov, Auteur ; Yan Cai, Auteur ; Suhua Shi, Auteur ; Arne Moksnes, Auteur ; Eivin Roskaft, Auteur ; Anders P. Moller, Auteur ; Wei Liang, Auteur ; Tomáš Grim, AuteurHow do potential hosts escape detrimental interactions with brood parasites? Current consensus is that hole-nesting and granivorous birds avoid brood parasites, like common cuckoos Cuculus canorus, by their inaccessible nest-sites and food unsui[...]
Article
Canchao Yang, Auteur ; Anders Pape Moller, Auteur ; Zhijun Ma, Auteur ; Feng Li, Auteur ; Wei Liang, AuteurNest predation is a common cause of reproductive failure. Here, we show for the first time unusually high rates of nest predation on eggs and chicks in nests of the Oriental Reed Warbler Acrocephalus orientalis and the brood parasitic Common Cuc[...]

Canchao Yang, Auteur ; Anton Antonov, Auteur ; Yan Cai, Auteur ; Bard G. Stokke, Auteur ; Arne Moksnes, Auteur ; Eivin Roskaft, Auteur ; Wei Liang, AuteurWe documented brood parasitism by the poorly studied Large Hawk-Cuckoo on a previously unknown host species, the Chinese Babax. Furthermore, we describe a new egg colour for the Large Hawk-Cuckoo. The parasitism rate of Chinese Babax nests over [...]
Article
Canchao Yang, Auteur ; Longwu Wang, Auteur ; Yu-Cheng Hsu, Auteur ; Anton Antonov, Auteur ; Arne Moksnes, Auteur ; Eivin Roskaft, Auteur ; Wei Liang, Auteur ; Bard G. Stokke, AuteurBirds are capable of seeing the ultraviolet light (UV) spectrum and as a consequence have evolved UV-reflective structures with signalling functions. Avian eggs also reflect in the UV spectrum but the importance of UV egg matching in egg rejecti[...]
