Threshold responses of floating meadow fish communities to floodplain forest cover in the lower Amazon River. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

Using camera traps to enhance community-based management of subsistence hunting in the Amazon. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Community‐based management and monitoring of biodiversity has emerged as a cost‐effective strategy for providing credible data, informing decision‐making, and empowering local communities in resource governance and management. However, the establishment of community‐based management of subsistence hunting in the Brazilian Amazon has been ...

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species' traits. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Spectacled Flying‐fox conflicts—tucker, totem, taunt and threat 眼镜狐蝠的冲突——食物、图腾、挑战与威胁

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 112-118, September 2023., 2023
Flying‐foxes worldwide have suffered population declines, including the Spectacled Flying‐fox of north‐east Australia which experienced a population crash of over 75% in <15 years. Persuading people that the Spectacled Flying‐fox is important, even vital for the rainforests and tall forests that they love, takes engagement, narrative and story‐telling.

Evaluating the influence of nature connection and values on conservation attitudes at a tropical deforestation frontier

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Inner phenomena, such as personal motivations for pursuing sustainability, may be critical levers for improving conservation outcomes. Most conservation research and policies, however, focus on external phenomena (e.g., ecological change or economic processes). We explored the factors shaping 9 conservation attitudes toward forest and wildlife

Functional diversity loss and change in nocturnal behavior of mammals under anthropogenic disturbance

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract In the Anthropocene, understanding the impacts of anthropogenic influence on biodiversity and behavior of vulnerable wildlife communities is increasingly relevant to effective conservation. However, comparative studies aimed at disentangling the concurrent effect of different types of human disturbance on multifaceted biodiversity and on ...

Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree species to ...

Protecting biodiversity and economic returns in resource‐rich tropical forests

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 263-273, February 2021., 2021
Abstract In pursuit of socioeconomic development, many countries are expanding oil and mineral extraction into tropical forests. These activities seed access to remote, biologically rich areas, thereby endangering global biodiversity. We examined how protection of biodiversity and economic revenues can be balanced in biologically valuable regions ...

Combined effects of land use and hunting on distributions of tropical mammals

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1271-1280, October 2020., 2020
Abstract Land use and hunting are 2 major pressures on biodiversity in the tropics. Yet, their combined impacts have not been systematically quantified at a large scale. We estimated the effects of both pressures on the distributions of 1884 tropical mammal species by integrating species’ range maps, detailed land‐use maps (1992 and 2015), species ...

Features of Tree Canopy Rainfall Initial Distribution and Analysis of Its Main Driving Factors in Monsoon Climate [PDF]

, 2013
运用调查统计和偏冗余方法分析中国温带至亚热带季风气候下的针、阔叶林冠层降雨初次分配特征,并对该生态过程的影响因子进行分析。结果表明:季风气候下,林冠降雨初次分配总体呈现平均透雨率>截留率>茎流率的趋势;不同林型、气候带的林冠降雨初次分配差异明显,林冠降雨平均截留率呈现温带>亚热带、针叶林>阔叶林的趋势。不同林型间(针叶和阔叶林)主效驱动因子相似,均以森林结构类因子为主,气候类因子居次;不同气候带间主效驱动因子不同,温带为气候类因子,亚热带为森林结构类因子。说明,大尺度下总体呈现气候类因子、森林结构类因子>
