Obstruction of biodiversity conservation by minimum patch size criteria
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Minimum patch size criteria for habitat protection reflect the conservation principle that a single large (SL) patch of habitat has higher biodiversity than several small (SS) patches of the same total area (SL > SS). Nonetheless, this principle is often incorrect, and biodiversity conservation requires placing more emphasis on protection of ...

Effects of forest fragmentation on avian breeding activity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Biodiversity declines and ecosystem decay follow forest fragmentation; initially, abundant species may become rare or be extirpated. Underlying mechanisms behind delayed extirpation of certain species following forest fragmentation are unknown.

Evaluating the potential of biodiversity offsets to achieve net gain
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Evaluating the outcomes and tracking the trajectory of biodiversity offsets is essential to demonstrating their effectiveness as a mechanism to conciliate development and conservation. We reviewed the literature to determine the principles that should underpin biodiversity offset planning and the criteria for offset evaluation at the project ...

ABCA12 Frameshift Deletion in Domestic Cats With Ichthyosis Fetalis
Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Ichthyosis fetalis (IF), also known as harlequin ichthyosis, is a rare and often fatal autosomal recessive congenital skin disorder. It is characterized by thickened, hard skin plaques and deep skin fissures that limit mobility and cause malformations of the eyes, lips and ears.

Effects of landscape fragmentation on floodplain fishes as revealed by species–habitat networks
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract How species interact with habitat patches is influenced primarily by habitat configuration (e.g., connectivity) and species’ functional traits. As levels of fragmentation increase, identifying the intricate connections between these components is crucial for biodiversity conservation.

The effects of miR-30c-1-3p regulating group ⅡA secretory phospholipase A2（sPLA2-ⅡA）expression on the pathogenic mechanism of atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2015 动脉粥样硬化（Atherosclerosis，AS）是急性冠脉综合症、脑卒中等众多心脑血管疾病共同的病理基础。sPLA2-ⅡA在动脉粥样硬化病变处含量明显增多、活性显著增强，同时伴随中性粒细胞的增多。sPLA2-ⅡA以酶的催化水解作用和作为致炎因子的促炎症反应双重生物学作用参与AS发生发展的各个阶段。 MicroRNA（miRNA）是近年发现广泛存在于真核细胞中的高度保守的、非编码单链小分子RNA，具有最广泛的基因调节功能，参与机体多种生理、病理过程的调控。 我们运用miRNA靶基因预测软件发现miR ...
