Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

The Role of Technology Standards in Strategic Hedging
ABSTRACT This article argues that technology standards provide Southeast Asian states with a distinct mechanism for hedging amid intensifying US–China technological rivalry. Traditional hedging strategies emphasizing economic engagement without political alignment are increasingly constrained by the weaponization of technological interdependence ...

Confidential communications technique based on message block precoder in multi-user MIMO systems [PDF]
For confidential communications in a multi-user MIMO wiretap channel,though no information regarding the illegitimate receiver was presumed at the transmitter,an artificial interference and a precoding technique based on message block were proposed ...

Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Riverine Nitrate Export Response to Hydro-climatic Variability in a Southeast China Coastal Watershed Based on Long-term Historical Data [PDF]
气候变化对不同的自然地理区域的淡水系统,尤其是人口集中、对水资源高度依赖的近海流域的潜在影响的研究对于制定合理的水资源管理策略至关重要。本篇论文选取中尺度近海流域—九龙江流域,基于1961-2013年近53年的水文-气候与硝酸盐水质数据,评估气候变化对流域水量和水质及通量的影响。研究结果表明,在过去的50年里,九龙江北溪和西溪年径流量没有明显变化趋势,但随年降雨变化,呈自然波动。本研究开发的L-R图解法显示土地变化加强了气候变化对径流动态的影响。上世纪60年代至90年代之间,硝酸盐的浓度增加了30倍 ...

We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,

Human-induced disturbance on the understory plant diversity of urban forest:a case study of Xiamen [PDF]
以厦门城市森林林下层植被为研究对象,重点研究台湾相思群落中林下灌草层植物多样性与土地利用类型、人为干扰程度之间的相关性;选用基于重要值的4种多样性指数,比较不同邻接用地类型城市森林群落多样性的差异;运用主成分分析、CCA排序以及多元回归等方法对城市森林灌草层植物多样性格局进行解释。结果表明:人为踩踏、垃圾堆积程度、人为挖掘、可到达容易程度等因子对厦门城市森林灌草层植物多样性分布格局有重要影响;厦门城市森林群落草本层β多样性沿着邻接商业用地、交通用地、工业用地、居住用地的方向逐渐增加 ...
