Flexible parental care in a songbird correlates with sex‐specific responses to seasonal phenology, mating opportunity and reproductive success

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This population‐comparative study reveals that male and female parents respond differently to social and ecological conditions. This sex‐specific responsive strategy is related to the incongruent parental care systems across populations in Chinese penduline tits.

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

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

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

The Five‐Thread Model & Academic Policy Entrepreneurs: From the White Australia Policy to Multicultural Australia

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Why did Australia go from the White Australia Policy, which excluded non‐whites, to institutionalizing multiculturalism policy in the 1970s? This question defies traditional political ideologies of the major political parties, which had long supported the White Australia Policy. This article is a rare empirical demonstration of the Five‐Thread

考虑土壤电离的垂直接地极冲击散流性能分析

Dianci bileiqi, 2015
准确计算接地装置的冲击散流性能以及输电线路接地极动态冲击特性是优化接地网设计的基础。为了得到垂直接地极的散流特性以及各种因素对垂直接地极散流特性的影响,本文提出基于电磁场的有限元分析方法,对垂直接地极冲击散流特性的动态物理过程进行建模和仿真,在此基础上分析了垂直接地极的冲击散流特性;并进行了垂直接地极的模拟实验,通过对比验证了方法的正确性。结果表明,垂直接地极的散流具有明显的末端效应。

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 983-1000, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.
