Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.This study investigates the breeding success of the critically endangered White‐rumped Vulture in Khaireni Community Forest, and examines local knowledge and perceptions toward its conservation. We found that 71% of active nests were successful, with breeding success significantly influenced by the proximity to carcass deposition sites.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We staged dyadic interaction trials between two kangaroo rat species threatened by habitat loss to test whether one species dominates in direct interactions in the field. We found that Stephens’ kangaroo rat (Dipodomys stephensi) residents and intruders were dominant over Dulzura kangaroo rat (Dipodomys simulans). These results suggest that D. simulans

Haiyang yu huzhao本文通过对比半月湾海滩历史岸线、剖面、水下地形、沿岸输沙等的变化，详细分析了海滩的侵蚀现状，探讨了渔港防波堤建设对半月湾海滩侵蚀的动力机制，并针对性地提出了海滩修复思路。研究结果表明，半月湾海滩自渔港防波堤建设以来产生了自西向东的沿岸净输沙，海滩西侧持续侵蚀，东侧持续淤积；2004~2014年西侧岸线蚀退速率最大约为-8.10 m/a，东侧淤进速率最大约为10.10 m/a；2015~2017年年单宽净侵蚀量最大约为10.99 m3/m，2017~2021年单宽净淤积量最大约为26.05 m3/m；岸线、

野生动物学报, 2023 2017—2021年北京市野生动物救护中心共计救护野生动物438种，20 713只。野外救护的各类野生动物数量呈逐年上升趋势，救护高峰期为5—6月，次高峰期为 3—4月与7—10月。接收罚没野生动物数量呈逐年下降趋势，其中国内有自然分布的罚没数量呈逐年下降趋势，国内无自然分布的罚没数量呈逐年上升趋势，罚没高峰期为4—5月与9—10月。野外救护数量的逐年上升与罚没数量的逐年下降体现出北京在改善自然环境、强化野生动物保护等工作中取得了明显成绩。单一的救护站点难以满足日益增加的野生动物救护需求，建设专兼职结合、

When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

野生动物学报, 2020 野生动物保护已经成为生态环境建设的重要组成部分，野生动物保护教育在其中发挥着重要作用。动物园是国际开展野生动物保护教育的场所之一，其保护教育研究侧重于从多方面探究如何提高公众的参与感并达到最佳的教育效果。其他典型的保护教育形式有日本的农业湿地恢复保护教育项目和哥伦比亚的农村社区保护教育计划。国际上野生动物保护教育根据公众特征采取针对性的保护教育方式，内容形式丰富，有比较完善的保护教育体系和立法保障。和国际野生动物保护教育相比 ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...
