The trans-Himalayan flights of bar-headed geese (Anser indicus).
Birds that fly over mountain barriers must be capable of meeting the increased energetic cost of climbing in low-density air, even though less oxygen may be available to support their metabolism. This challenge is magnified by the reduction in maximum sustained climbing rates in large birds. Bar-headed geese (Anser indicus) make one of the highest and most iconic transmountain migrations in the...
متن کاملThe paradox of extreme high-altitude migration in bar-headed geese Anser indicus.
Bar-headed geese are renowned for migratory flights at extremely high altitudes over the world's tallest mountains, the Himalayas, where partial pressure of oxygen is dramatically reduced while flight costs, in terms of rate of oxygen consumption, are greatly increased. Such a mismatch is paradoxical, and it is not clear why geese might fly higher than is absolutely necessary. In addition, dire...
متن کاملStable Isotopes Suggest Low Site Fidelity in Bar-headed Geese (Anser indicus) in Mongolia: Implications for Disease Transmission.
Population connectivity is an important consideration in studies of disease transmission and biological conservation, especially with regard to migratory species. Determining how and when different subpopulations intermingle during different phases of the annual cycle can help identify important geographical regions or features as targets for conservation efforts and can help inform our underst...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus hominis BHG17 Isolated from Wild Bar-Headed Goose (Anser indicus) Feces
Staphylococcus hominis belongs to a group of coagulase-negative staphylococci and is an opportunistic pathogen, usually found on the skin and mucous membranes. Studies involving S. hominis isolated from wild birds are scarce. Here, we report a 2.365-Mb draft genome sequence of S. hominis BHG17, isolated from the feces of a bar-headed goose.
متن کاملHeart rate and the rate of oxygen consumption of flying and walking barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) and bar-headed geese (Anser indicus).
We tested the hypotheses that the relationship between heart rate (fH) and the rate of oxygen consumption ((O(2))) differs between walking and flying in geese and that fH and (O(2)) have a U-shaped relationship with flight speed. We trained barnacle geese Branta leucopsis (mean mass 2.1 kg) and bar-headed geese Anser indicus (mean mass 2.6 kg) to walk inside a respirometer on a treadmill and to...
