Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

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.

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2005 杂交狼尾草是一种优良的多年生禾本科牧草,具有很好的水土保持能力,但人们对其水土保持方面的定量研究较少。通过对杂交狼尾草草地植被的持水能力、土壤水分变化、土壤抗冲性、渗透性等指标的研究,探讨杂交狼尾草的水土保持能力。结果表明:杂交狼尾草的持水能力强,能明显增加土壤水分含量,提高土壤的抗冲性、渗透性,在三峡库区的水土保持工作中有着广阔的应用前景。

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

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).

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Network of VAMP714‐dependent interactions during salt stress. Summary Plant responses to salt stress include an altered root architecture mediated by ion imbalances, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and altered hormonal responses. Auxin is implicated in these processes.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2016 为探明红壤坡地枯落物敷盖的保水作用及其机理，在江西省北部德安县第四纪红黏土母质发育的红壤坡地开展定位试验，以裸露坡地为对照，研究枯落物敷盖措施实施15 a后对0—60 cm土层土壤的持水性、供水性和水分有效性的影响。结果表明：赣北红壤坡地的土壤水分持水能力低，供水能力弱，有效水含量少，仅为9.0%～11.1%；枯落物敷盖处理的红壤坡地（0—30 cm）土壤持水能力高于裸露坡地；低吸力范围（＜100 kPa）枯落物敷盖处理的下层（30—60 cm）土壤供水能力高于裸露坡地 ...
