Richness in bird species of the Eastern Himalayas in early spring

Distribution of birds in the high‐altitude area of Mount Everest

“…. Bird diversity research in this area has revealed that the eastern Himalaya mountain range, south slopes, and mid-lower altitude areas have higher levels of bird diversity than the western Himalaya mountain range, north slopes, and high-altitude areas, respectively (Acharya et al , 2011Price et al 2011;Wang et al 2013;Romanov et al 2016). In addition, the adaptability of birds to high-altitude areas, such as the enhancement of the oxygen transport capacity of the Barheaded Goose (Meir & Milsom 2013) and changes in the flight characteristics of vultures (Sherub et al 2016) have also been investigated.…”
