Wings of Change: Motivations, Challenges, and Environmental Concerns Among Birdwatchers 变革之翼:观鸟者的动机、挑战与环境关切

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 83-93, June 2026.
Birdwatching in Nepal has high potential to support avain biodiversity and tourism. Conservation was identified as the primary motivation for birdwatching, followed by enjoyment and achievement purposes. Health/wellbeing benefits, social and economic factors showed moderate representation, whereas academic motivation played a relatively minor role ...

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Anthropogenic nitrogen addition interrupts seasonal connectivity and structures of plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1878-1891, June 2026.
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 ...

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
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.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
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 ...

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

万类霜天竞自由——各地“爱鸟周”活动述评

open access: yes野生动物学报, 1989
鸟类是自然的精灵,是森林的娇子,是人类的挚友,是社会文明的写照。对人类来说,如何处理好与鸟类的关系是一个十分严肃而有趣的问题。著名生物学家达尔文在一百多年前就已经精辟地指出:“有机体的生活不但决定于无机体的自然条件,同时也决定于有机的自然条件。”但长期以来,由于种种原因,人们在各种实践活动中一直忽视或不重视利用生物物种间相互依存而又相互制约的关系,来为生活服务。不会利用自然发展的规律为人类谋福利,各种人为的破坏活动造成的生态恶果已日益明显。如果人类对于自然 ...

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models
