We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,

This study investigates distribution patterns of Galliforms in the Indian Himalayas, focusing on factors influencing their occurrence, regions of high diversity and endemism, and their overlap with protected areas. Our study highlights the need for assemblage‐level conservation strategies in high Himalaya which primarily relies on snow leopard‐focused ...

Our research allows us to understand the predictors of extinction risk in traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) plant species with known threat status, and incorporate this knowledge to predict other TCM plants with unknown conservation status in China so as to improve the overall effectiveness of conservation strategies.

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 ...

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Mycorrhiza‐induced alterations in the spatial structure of stands in a subtropical forest
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Spatial aggregation patterns represent snapshots of ecological processes that occurred over an extensive period. Such processes can shape both the conspecific and the heterospecific spatial structure of plants across woody habitats.

Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas
Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.

为探讨工程堆积体不同植被类型的枯落物特征、枯落物持水及拦蓄能力、土壤物理性状和土壤涵水性能,采用室内浸水法和环刀法分别对工程堆积体植被与原生植被的枯落物及0—20 cm土层的持水能力进行研究。结果表明:(1)不同植被类型枯落物厚度及蓄积量均存在显著差异(P灌木林>乔木林。(3)各植被类型土壤最大持水量及毛管持水量均存在显著差异(P灌木林>乔木林。从堆积体枯落物和土壤持水能力角度来看,草灌混交这一搭配模式可以作为工程堆积体的先锋植被,用于在堆积体初期构建稳定群落生态结构 ...

Characterizing China's Illegal Trade in Avifauna on Social Media 中国社交媒体上非法鸟类贸易的特征分析
Worldwide, illegal wildlife trade is an increasing threat to species conservation. Here, we used the social media data to characterize China's illegal online trade in avifauna for conservation implications. Our results found that 178 avian species have been posted online for illegal trading. ABSTRACT The illegal wildlife trade poses a growing threat to

Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...
