Urban adults' engagement in nature education and its interplay with everyday lived experiences: A case study from Shenzhen, China

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, scholarship on education to foster connectedness with nature primarily focuses on children. As adults likewise face the disconnection from nature and play a key role in influencing children, it is important to understand how they perceive, engage in, and benefit from relevant programmes.

Use of species’ responses to cryptic anthropogenic disturbances for monitoring biodiversity outcomes in tropical forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Strengthening community‐based fisheries monitoring programs with Indigenous perspectives

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Community‐based monitoring (CBM) programs are increasingly recognized as essential for adaptive environmental stewardship. Yet, the CBM literature often highlights successful cases and privileges evaluations by external experts over those of community members themselves.

Long-Term Trends of Macrobenthos in Southern Bohai Sea, China, in Relation toEnvironmental Changes [PDF]

, 2016
根据50多年来渤海南部海域大型底栖动物群落的历史资料,以及2011~2013年的现场调查数据,从渤海南部包括黄河口邻近海域及莱州湾大型底栖动物群落结构变化特征出发,分析了其长期演变的过程和规律,旨在阐明底栖动物群落的演变趋势,识别其重要的演变时段.并结合50年来渤海南部海域相关底栖环境因子的变化特征,探讨底栖动物群落的演变原因.过去50余年来,渤海南部海域大型底栖动物群落在物种数、生物量、丰度以及群落结构组成等方面都发生了较大的变动,具体表现为寿命长、体积大、具有高竞争力的K对策种的优势地位正逐渐丧失 ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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.
