Use of carrion fly iDNA metabarcoding to monitor invasive and native mammals
Abstract Severely fragmented habitats increase the risk of extirpation of native mammal populations through isolation, increased edge effects, and predation. Therefore, monitoring the movement of mammal populations through anthropogenically altered landscapes can inform conservation. We used metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from carrion

A review to the methods of personality measurements in wild animals 野生动物个性测量方法的综述
One of the challenges in animal personality study is finding a suitable method to measure personality. Here, we outlined three methods (traits rating, behavioral coding, and experimentation) used in animal personality measurement. We found that traits rating was commonly used to test large‐sized animals (e.g., primates), behavioral coding was conducted

Oaks are often removed as part of longleaf pine restoration; however, it is unclear if oak patches produce important resources for native wildlife. We studied wildlife use of the transition between longleaf pine woodlands and hardwood hammocks. We found these areas support a variety of wildlife species and future management and restoration of longleaf ...

Modeling total predation to avoid perverse outcomes from cat control in a data‐poor island ecosystem
Abstract Data‐hungry, complex ecosystem models are often used to predict the consequences of threatened species management, including perverse outcomes. Unfortunately, this approach is impractical in the many systems that have insufficient data to parameterize ecosystem interactions or reliably calibrate or validate such models.

Abstract This study examined how a dialogic reading (DR) program with a component of multisensory learning (MS) of Chinese characters improved early Chinese reading and writing skills in L2 Chinese‐speaking kindergarteners in Hong Kong. The DR + MS program was compared to the same DR program but focusing on morphological awareness (MA) training.

Majority of Chinese characters are pictographic characters with strong associative ability and when a character appears for Chinese readers, they usually associate with the objects, or actions related to the character immediately. Having this background, we propose a system to visualize the simplified Chinese characters, so that developing any skills ...
