World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 456-480, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource under threat in island communities. Karainagar, a 22 km2 island, is one of seven islands off the coast of Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka, with its population of just about 11,000 persons, experiences seasonal water shortage, and salinity in groundwater as twin threats impacting on their lives.

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 553-558, December 2022., 2022 Background – Canine flank alopecia (CFA) is characterized by seasonally recurring noninflammatory, occasionally hyperpigmented alopecia predominantly in the thoracolumbar area. Previous studies suggest that reduced production of endogenous melatonin may play a role in the pathogenesis of this condition, and placebo‐controlled studies on the efficacy of

Leaf morphological traits as adaptations to multiple climate gradients
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 6, Page 1344-1355, June 2022., 2022 The plastic response of size, shape, colour and other leaf morphological traits to climate is muted, thus their apparent shift along climate gradients reflects plant adaptations to environment at a community level as determined by species replacement.

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 743-753, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Information on population sizes and trends of threatened species is essential for their conservation, but obtaining reliable estimates can be challenging. We devised a method to improve the precision of estimates of population size obtained from capture–recapture studies for species with low capture and recapture probabilities and short ...

Nutrient‐specific compensation for seasonal cold stress in a free‐ranging temperate colobine monkey
Functional Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 2170-2180, September 2018., 2018 Plain Language Summary Abstract Homeostatic responses of animals to environmentally induced changes in nutrient requirements provide a powerful basis for predictive ecological models, and yet, such responses are virtually unstudied in the wild. We tested for macronutrient‐specific compensatory feeding responses by free‐ranging golden snub‐nosed monkeys

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

, 2012 洪泽湖是我国第四大淡水湖,然而关于洪泽湖大型底栖动物的报道较少。为了研究洪泽湖大型底栖动物群落结构特征及其影响因子,在洪泽湖设置20个采样点,进行了为期1周年的季度调查(2010年5月-2011年2月)。共采集到大型底栖动物14种,寡毛类、摇蚊科幼虫和软体动物分别有5种(占总物种数的35.7%)、3种(21.4%)和6种(42.9%)。河蚬为第一优势种(优势度Y=0.18),其次分别为苏氏尾鳃蚓(0.09)、羽摇蚊(0.07)、霍甫水丝蚓(0.06)和铜锈环棱螺(0.06 ...

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.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2021 土壤水分是黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错带生态环境恢复的关键因子，具有明显的时空异质性。以水蚀风蚀交错带的代表性流域—老爷满渠小流域为对象，采用网格法（50 m×50 m）共布设了73个样点，原位观测0—5 m土壤含水率，共测定23次（2013年6月至2019年10月），通过获取每个样点的环境因子，结合经典统计、地统计、随机森林等方法，分析了小流域尺度不同土层深度（每层1 m，共5层）土壤含水率的季节变化特征与影响因素。结果表明：不同土层土壤含水率的空间分布特征和季节性变化规律不同；对于0—1 m土层 ...
