Livestock disturbances decreased the area of suitable habitat of forest pheasants by 14.28% in 7 years. Livestock activities remarkably increased the nest failure rate (by 2.18 times) of forest pheasants. Abstract The degradation and fragmentation of natural habitats, driven largely by anthropogenic activities such as grazing, represent growing ...

Highlights The CD4 T cells of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients particularly having HLA‐DRB1*03‐DQA1*05‐DQB1*02 haplotype are reactive against a particular region of the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) protein. GAD65 peptides encompassing 288–308 amino acid positions (peptide pool 2) may be favored by the HLA‐DR3 molecule for presentation to CD4 T ...

Abstract Successful use of stable isotopes (δ2H and δ18O) in ecohydrological studies relies on the accurate extraction of unfractionated water from different types of soil samples. Cryogenic vacuum distillation (CVD) is a common laboratory‐based technique used for soil water extraction; however, the reliability of this technique in reflecting soil ...
