When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

Evaluating past and future contributions of conservation programs to species recovery
Abstract Impact evaluation of conservation actions is a crucial step in global efforts to curb the biodiversity crisis. Through robust impact evaluation, practitioners can assess the effectiveness of conservation strategies and optimize the use of limited resources.

The Effect of N2O Emission Mitigation by Growing Soybeans Instead of Other Crops [PDF]
农业是重要的温室气体排放源之一,而在农业生产过程中施用氮肥是引起农业温室气体排放的主要原因。因此,如何合理有效的施用氮肥对减少农业温室气体排放、减缓全球气候变化至关重要。鉴于此,对通过合理施用氮肥从而减少温室气体排放的减排措施进行成本效益分析,将有助于我们找到具有经济效益的农业温室气体减排方法。目前,相关减排措施研究主要集中在农田测土配方施肥、改良施肥(缓释肥和长效肥)上。得益于与豆类作物共生的根瘤菌具有的固氮作用,豆类作物相比其他农作物施用更少的氮肥,从而排放更少的氧化亚氮(N2O)。因此 ...

Effects of parachute science on local research capacity 降落伞科学对当地研究能力的影响
Abstract Strengthening research capacity is essential to address the global biodiversity crisis. Yet, parachute science often undermines this goal, and its prevalence, costs, and benefits are unclear. We analyzed 13,502 publications on primate research that we extracted from Scopus (1960–2022) to evaluate the effects of parachute science on local ...

Design and Implementation of Aquaculture Water Quality On-line Monitor System [PDF]
海洋水产养殖一直是我国福建沿海主要经济产业之一,而花蛤又是主要海产经济贝类之一,特别在福建等地沿海产量较多。其中花蛤苗的主要产量来自于土池培育。该培育方法是利用天然近海滩涂及大水面进行露天养殖,相对于北方的室内工厂化育苗具有成本低、产量高、投资小、回收期短等特点,但具有严重依赖近海水文水质及气候等自然因素的特点,基于该特点,经考察发现,福建省内绝大部分天然渔场缺少对水质水文数据有效监测的手段,缺乏相应设备及信息监测系统,无法及时根据数据调整养殖策略,导致产量无法有效提高。 本文基于以上内容 ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...
