Anecdotes or Ecological Patterns: Symbiotic Foraging Behaviors in Coyotes and Badgers 奇特模式还是生态格局: 郊狼与獾的共生觅食行为

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using a 3‐year, broad‐scale camera‐trap network in western Kansas, we tested whether coyotes and American badgers exhibit spatiotemporal patterns consistent with coordinated hunting. Despite high diel activity overlap, detection‐conditioned co‐detections occurred far less frequently than expected under independence, and short‐term temporal sequencing ...

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

土壤呼吸作用时空动态变化及其影响机制研究与展望. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
测定不同陆地生态系统土壤呼吸速率及其时空波动,阐明其影响因子,对于全球碳素平衡预算和全球变化潜在效应估计是最为基本的数据。然而,有关土壤呼吸作用变异性及其影响因素的知识仍存在局限性,一些关键的过程和机制还有待阐明。该文综述了近年来土壤呼吸作用时空动态规律、影响机制和模拟方面的研究进展,指出环境因子和生物因子共同驱动着土壤呼吸作用的时间动态变化;土壤呼吸作用在不同时间尺度上还具有明显的空间异质性,这主要是植被覆盖、根系分布、主要的环境因素和土壤特性空间分布的异质性造成的 ...

Root economic space is associated with rhizosphere microbial divergence via root metabolite‐mediated pathways in degraded grasslands

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Grasslands worldwide are experiencing severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, resulting in substantial declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Learner‐Focused Strategy Instruction From the Teachers’ and the Learners’ Perspective

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous large‐scale quantitative studies have been conducted to yield a macro‐level picture of the effectiveness of strategy instruction. However, little is understood about learners' actual processing of strategy instruction and interaction with the teachers delivering it.

Synthesizing Empirical Research on Learner Metacognition in Second Language Writing

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite considerable research interest in learner metacognition in second language (L2) writing, there is not yet a review that synthesizes the existing empirical findings and discusses their implications. To fill the void, this systematic review synthesized 39 empirical studies on learner metacognition in L2 writing and examined their salient
