Extreme hot weather is occurring more frequently due to global warming,posing a significant threat to species survival.Birds in particular are more likely to overheat in hot weather because they have a higher body tem-perature.This study used a heat stress model to investigate the antioxidant defense mechanisms and changes in fatty acid catabolism in Red-billed Leiothrix(Leiothrix lutea)to gain an understanding of how birds adapt to high temperatures.The birds were divided into five groups:a control group(30℃for 0 days),1 D group(40℃for 1 day),3 D group(40℃for 3 days),14 D group(40℃for 14 days)and recovery group(40℃for 14 days,then 30℃for 14 days).Our results indicated that when Red-billed Leiothrix are subjected to heat stress,malondialdehyde(MDA)content in the liver significantly increased,as did the enzyme activities of catalase(CAT),gluta-thione-SH-peroxidase(GSH-PX)and total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)in the liver.Furthermore,there was a significant increase in heat shock protein 70(HSP70)expression in the liver,while avian uncoupling protein(avUCP)expression in muscle was significantly reduced.Additionally,there was a significant reduction in fatty acid catabolism enzyme activity such as 3-hydroxyacyl-CoAdehydrogenase(HOAD)activity in the heart,and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1(CPT-1)and citrate synthase(CS)activity in the heart and liver.Furthermore,fatty acid translocase(FAT/CD36)in the heart,heart-type fatty acid binding protein(H-FABP)and fatty acid binding protein(FABP-pm)in the liver and heart were also significantly decreased.These changes reverted after treatment,but not to the same level as the control group.Our results indicated that when Red-billed Leiothrix are exposed to heat stress their internal antioxidant defense system is activated to counteract the damage caused by high temperatures.However,even with high antioxidant levels,prolonged high temperature exposure still caused some degree of oxidative damage possibly requiring a longer recovery time.Additionally,Red-billed Leiothrix may be able to resist heat stress by reducing fatty acid transport and catabolism.

Knowledge of breeding success and its limiting factors is crucial in assessing species\'conservation needs.As cavity-nesters,parrots are particularly influenced by the availability of suitable cavities and low breeding output,whether due to natural proc
Conserving species relies upon acquiring an understanding of their use of habitat,yet our understanding of the use of habitat by co-existing species of different guilds at microgeographic scales remains poor.In particular,the use of habitat by woodland sp
利用1979-2019年多年平均5-8月的逐日气象资料,采用EOF,MV-EOF、相关分析和合成分析等方法,对夏季青藏高原-孟加拉湾的大气热源与中国东部暴雨的时空演变特征及两者之间的联系进行探讨.研究结果表明:MV-EOF能够很好地表现不同要素的空间分布特征及其时间演变之间的联系.结果显示:在气候平均状态下,强降水事件分别发生在华南地区、华西和长江中下游地区时,青藏高原东部和孟加拉湾的大气加热出现相反的变化趋势,说明青藏高原东部和孟加拉湾之间的海陆热力对比很可能是导致中国东部强降水事件在不同地点发生的关键
