Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China 气候变化下中国大兴安岭漠河地区猞猁潜在适宜区的变化

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Precipitation‐mediated asymmetric fitness consequences of nectar robbing in distylous Primula florindae

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with deep corollas are frequently associated with nectar robbing, a behaviour that often reduces pollen transfer and seed production. Robbing scars, however, may further affect plant reproductive success through rainwater entry into corolla tubes.

The oxygen uptake capacity of freshwater fish evolves to favour hypoxia tolerance in lentic species but locomotion capacity in lotic species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Oxygen supply capacity (α) is a physiological trait hypothesized to shape the metabolic niche and biogeography of aquatic breathers, yet how natural selection targets α remains unclear.

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

臺灣地下水之研究

, 2014
碩士臺灣地區因受到先天地理環境之限制雨量雖然豐沛，但因人口稠密、河流逕流較短，可利用之水資源相當稀少，每人可利用的水量僅為全球平均值的15%。在水資源需求與日俱增的壓力以及降雨的時間及空間分布不均，必須先以天然環境的特質來計算台灣地區水資源的總量，再配合國土政策，尋求水資源在各個不同的用途間的最佳分配模式，以使臺灣的整體得以永續發展。 本研究提及了當面臨農業休耕時，是否真可解決缺水問題，是否解決缺水問題時，未來會不會衍生糧食缺乏的問題之虞。 本研究其實就是在強調地下水資源已經超抽補注量 ...

Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

Transitioning From L1 Medium of Instruction to L2 English Medium Instruction: The Role of Translanguaging in Contributing to EFL Students’ Language Learning Motivation

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on English‐Medium‐Instruction (EMI) highlights inadequate support for students transitioning from L1‐medium‐instruction to EMI. To date, little research has focused on how L2 students’ adaptation to an EMI environment influences their L2 learning motivation (LLM).

A Latent Profile Analysis of Chinese EFL Students’ Speaking Self‐Efficacy: The Role of Gender in Predicting Profile Membership and the Association of Profiles With Speaking Proficiency

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding learners’ English speaking self‐efficacy is essential for promoting effective oral communication in EFL contexts. However, variable‐centered research on English speaking self‐efficacy often overlooks heterogeneity among learners.
