Abundance and Breeding Ecology of Brown Accentors Prunella fulvescens in Lhasa, Tibet

Breeding Biology of the White-Browed Tit-Warbler (Leptopoecile Sophiae) in Alpine Shrubs, Southern Tibet

“…In the alpine zone we studied White-browed Tit-Warblers began to breed in early April, about one month earlier than did other local passerines (Lu 2004(Lu , 2005(Lu , 2006(Lu , 2008. How, in early spring, do the birds overcome the cold and dearth of food, the two major factors determining birds' breeding schedules (Lack 1968, Brown et al 1999?…”

The altitudinal frontier in avian climate impact research

“…Water Pipit Anthus spinoletta , Rauter et al. 2002; Himalayan Accentor Prunella fulvescens , Lu 2006; Tibetan Ground Tit Pseudopodoces humilis , Ke & Lu 2009; choughs Pyrrhocorax spp, Laiolo & Rolando 2001; White‐tailed Ptarmigan Lagopus leucura , Martin & Wiebe 2004), few have considered variation in these demographic parameters in relation to altitude (e.g. Lu et al.…”

Characterization of complete mitochondrial genome of the Brown Accentor Prunella fulvescens on the Tibet Plateau

“…This species is widespread in Eurasian high-montane areas, with its breeding regions cross the Himalayas, Tibetan Plateau and Central Asia and the altitudinal distributions ranging from 1000 m to more than 4000 m above sea level (Zheng 2005;Lu 2006;Hatchwell 2017). Currently, similar to other accentor species except Dunnock (P. modularis; Burke et al 1989) and Alpine Accentor (P. collaris; Davies et al 1996), the Brown Accentor is still poorly understood and the knowledge on their natural history is mainly based on species accounts (Hatchwell 2017) and simple descriptions by Lu (2006). In this study, we described the whole mitochondrial genome of Prunella fulvescens based on next-generation sequencing.…”
