Modeling mammal response to fire based on species’ traits
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Fire has shaped ecological communities worldwide for millennia, but impacts of fire on individual species are often poorly understood. We performed a meta‐analysis to predict which traits, habitat, or study variables and fire characteristics affect how mammal species respond to fire.

Spatial mismatch between wild bee diversity hotspots and protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Wild bees are critical for multiple ecosystem functions but are currently threatened. Understanding the determinants of the spatial distribution of wild bee diversity is a major research gap for their conservation. We modeled wild bee α and β taxonomic and functional diversity in Switzerland to uncover countrywide diversity patterns and ...

MsaH2A.W is identified response to salt tolerance in Miscanthus sacchariflorus
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 8, Page 1058-1073, August 2023., 2023 To study the underlying genetic basis of Miscanthus adaptation to salt stress, the transcriptome variations of Miscanthus sinensis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus and their hybrid were analysed using RNA‐seq technology under salt treatment. According to the expression pattern of known salt‐tolerant genes, a histone variant gene MsaH2AW of M.

Time‐lagged effects of habitat fragmentation on terrestrial mammals in Madagascar
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened by habitat destruction. As a consequence of habitat destruction, the remaining habitat becomes more fragmented. This results in time‐lagged population extirpations in remaining fragments when these are too small to support populations in the long term.

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 551-561, August 2022., 2022 Highlights This is the first randomized, single‐blind, double‐dummy, parallel controlled clinical trial collecting data on the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicines compared to that of pregabalin in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. The Xiaoketongbi Formula is an effective treatment that can relieve pain symptoms, improve quality of ...

Prioritizing forest management actions to benefit marine habitats in data‐poor regions
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Land‐use change is considered one of the greatest human threats to marine ecosystems globally. Given limited resources for conservation, we adapted and scaled up a spatially explicit, linked land–sea decision support tool using open access global geospatial data sets and software to inform the prioritization of future forest management ...

Modelling old‐age retirement: An adaptive multi‐outcome LAD‐lasso regression approach
International Social Security Review, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 3-29, January/March 2022., 2022 Abstract Using unique administrative register data, we investigate old‐age retirement under the statutory pension scheme in Finland. The analysis is based on multi‐outcome modelling of pensions and working lives together with a range of explanatory variables.

Fundamental insights on when social network data are most critical for conservation planning
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1463-1472, December 2020., 2020 Abstract As declines in biodiversity accelerate, there is an urgent imperative to ensure that every dollar spent on conservation counts toward species protection. Systematic conservation planning is a widely used approach to achieve this, but there is growing concern that it must better integrate the human social dimensions of conservation to be ...

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 ...
