Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Trait‐Based Prediction of Extinction Risk and Conservation Strategy for Traditional Chinese Medicinal Plants in China 基于性状的中药植物灭绝风险预测与保护策略研究

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 150-163, March 2026.
Our research allows us to understand the predictors of extinction risk in traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) plant species with known threat status, and incorporate this knowledge to predict other TCM plants with unknown conservation status in China so as to improve the overall effectiveness of conservation strategies.

Nutritional and Physiological Markers Are Mediated by Seasonality and Forest Access in Captive Coquerel's Sifakas 圈养科氏冕狐猴 (Coquerel's Sifakas) 的营养和生理指标受季节性和森林通道的影响

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 652-664, December 2025.
We profiled nutritional and physiological markers in captive sifakas, endangered primates from Madagascar, managed in expansive, non‐native forest enclosures. Variation in many markers reflects freely foraged diets and the energy required to maintain homeostasis under more naturalistic conditions.
