Comparative breeding ecology of two White-bellied Redstart populations at different altitudes

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

“…Along streams, shrub cover is dense and continuous. Tit-warblers are resident in the alpine zones year round, but in winter their numbers decrease greatly (Lu et al 2007).…”

Quantifying adaptive divergence of the snowfinches in a common landscape

“…The streaked rosefinch ( Carpodacus rubicilloides ) and the pink‐rumped rosefinch ( C. eos ), which co‐exist in the shrub habitats of Tibet, show the largest size difference among the birds in the genus Carpodacus . This divergence allows them to segregate nesting place and food selection (Landmann & Winding, 1995; Lu et al., 2007, 2011). Together with our study of snowfinches, these findings suggest that the degree of adaptive divergence in body size and beak size of birds in a shared environment depends on the extent to which they share resources.…”
