Constructed value of information with iterative scoring and parametric uncertainty to identify management‐relevant research priorities for a declining raptor species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

First Confirmed Cooperative Breeding of the Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni) in China at the Sino–Lao Frontier 中国中老边境尚勇保护区首次记录白喉犀鸟 (Anorrhinus austeni) 的合作繁殖行为

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 10-15, March 2026.
First confirmed breeding of the Brown Hornbill in China, documented through cooperative feeding in Shangyong Protected Area. ABSTRACT The Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni), a Near Threatened frugivore, reaches the northern edge of its distribution in southern Yunnan, China, yet breeding had not been previously documented with site‐attributed nests in

Urbanization and Seasonality Increase Introduced Plant Consumption by the World's Southernmost Parrot 城市化与季节性增加了全球最南端鹦鹉对引入植物的取食

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 86-103, March 2026.
Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 636-654, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Non‐Passerine Birds in Zoos: A Global Approach on Distribution Patterns of Threatened Birds in Zoological Institutions 动物园中非雀形目鸟类:全球动物机构中受威胁鸟类的分布模式研究

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 600-615, December 2025.
Only 1541 (34.2%) of 4503 recognized non‐passerine bird species are held in ZIMS institutions worldwide. Approximately ~83% of the species kept globally are classified as non‐threatened and ~16% as threatened. To improve the conservation of threatened birds, a shift toward keeping threatened species should be considered within ex situ management ...

A Comparison of the Effects of Habitat Type and Human Influence on Occupancy of Freshwater Turtles in the Mississippi Embayment 栖息地类型与人类影响对密西西比湾淡水龟分布影响的比较

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 46-55, June 2025.
Pond and riverine turtles respond to land‐use in similar ways being sensitive to increased exposure to roads but resilient to agriculture. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are highly diverse in the southeastern United States, yet few studies document how diversity is distributed in agricultural and rural landscapes.

新疆尉犁地区两种沙蜥的巢址特征比较

野生动物学报, 2023
巢穴为动物栖息、避敌和育幼提供了适宜的空间，了解动物巢址选择的特征对于物种的管理和保护有着重要的意义。为了解爬行类动物巢址选择的特征，以塔里木盆地的2种优势蜥种——新疆中部尉犁县叶城沙蜥（Phrynocephalus axillaris）和南疆沙蜥（Ph.forsythii）为研究对象，对巢址特征因子（巢穴温度、巢穴深度、巢穴湿度、巢口方向和巢口倾角）进行比较研究，探讨了2种沙蜥对巢穴选择的倾向性。结果表明：2种沙蜥均能在干旱的土壤中建巢，卵胎生的南疆沙蜥相比卵生的叶城沙蜥巢穴温度更低，巢倾角更大（p ...

Pre‐Monsoon Habitat Preference and Spatial Overlap Between Blue Sheep (Pseudois nayaur) and Livestock in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve, Nepal 尼泊尔多尔帕坦狩猎保护区季风前岩羊 (Pseudois nayaur) 与家畜的栖息地偏好及空间重叠

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 73-83, June 2025.
Blue sheep in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve prefer alpine grasslands at 3800–4200 m on south‐facing slopes near water resources, favoring areas with low tree cover and dense ground cover, particularly rhododendrons, junipers, and Cyperaceae grasses. Their habitat significantly overlaps with livestock.

Lessons for Transboundary Snow Leopard Conservation: Findings From a GPS Telemetry Study in Kangchenjunga Conservation Area, Nepal 跨境雪豹保护经验:来自尼泊尔Kangchenjunga保护区的GPS追踪研究结果

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 45-56, March 2025.
Understanding the spatial ecology and movement of snow leopards is crucial for their long‐term conservation. Our first GPS telemetry study in Nepal revealed that snow leopards of Nepal have much larger home ranges than previously thought and frequently cross international borders.
