Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

, 2005 以原癌基因Kras基因12位密码子的4种基因型(野生型为GGT,突变型为AGT、TGT、CGT)质粒DNA为研究模型,采用SYBRGreenⅠ为实时PCR指示剂,进行ARMS实时PCR基因分型特异性的研究.结果表明:在和模板匹配的ARMS引物3′端附近引入故意错配碱基,将ARMS引物浓度稀释10倍,并对传统三步PCR循环进行改良,即根据目的产物和引物二聚体的熔点差异,在传统延伸步骤之后增加一步恒温80℃检测荧光步骤,可消除引物二聚体的影响,使ARMS引物的特异性增强,得到清晰的基因分型结果 ...

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

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 ...

Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia. We explored whether messages about the legal and health risks of using elephant skin for medicinal purposes (stomach illness) could reduce such consumption.

Learning Styles, Engagement and Anxiety in AI‐Mediated Writing: A Multimodal Feedback Study
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) tools now permeate English academic writing. However, evidence on how feedback modalities align with student differences and with psychological mechanisms remains limited. Prior work often reduced learning styles to simple matches with delivery modes and treated learning engagement and writing anxiety as peripheral.

吉林省地区朝鲜族和汉族健康人群LPL基因HindⅢ酶切位点多态性分布的研究
Zhongguo shiyan zhenduanxue, 2010 目的分析我国吉林省地区朝鲜族和汉族健康人群脂蛋白酯酶（lipoprotein lipase,LPL）基因HindⅢ酶切位点多态性的分布。方法应用聚合酶链反应（polimerase chain reaction,PCR）等技术检测66例朝鲜族和90例汉族LPL基因多态性,并将其基因型和等位基因在两族人群中的分布进行统计学分析。结果朝鲜族人群LPL基因P+P+基因型,P+P-基因型和P-P-基因型频率分别为57.58%,33.33%和9.09%;汉族人群分别为73.33%,24.44%和2.22 ...
