We collected Amur tiger track data and occurrence data through snow track tracking, sample line surveys, and camera traps. The study concluded that forest roads, scrub vegetation, and human landscape factors were the main factors influencing Amur tiger movements at fine scales and examined the negative correlation between tiger path curvature values ...

Mesopredators in forest edges 森林边缘地带的中级捕食者
A key Asian mesopredator (leopards cats) is positively associated with forest edges and oil palm plantations. Abstract Fragments and edges account for most remaining forest habitats globally. Apex predators and megaherbivores often decline in these degraded habitats while smaller generalist omnivores can persist or thrive in forest edges, especially if

We apply an integrative perspective to modelling current and future land‐use change in Kuantan, Malaysia, a location with highly biodiverse forests, and also a hotspot of land‐use change. The region is representative of the types of development challenges faced by countries in Southeast Asia, which are also biodiversity hotspots.

Abstract Insights into declines in ecosystem resilience and their causes and effects can inform preemptive action to avoid ecosystem collapse and loss of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well‐being. Empirical studies of ecosystem collapse are rare and hampered by ecosystem complexity, nonlinear and lagged responses, and interactions across ...

Abstract Africa's protected areas (PAs) are the last stronghold of the continent's unique biodiversity, but they appear increasingly threatened by climate change, substantial human population growth, and land‐use change. Conservation planning is challenged by uncertainty about how strongly and where these drivers will interact over the next few decades.

ABSTRACT Water security in tropical regions faces escalating pressures from climate change, land‐use shifts, and population growth. We conducted a bibliometric review of 1146 peer‐reviewed articles (1964–2023) on tropical water security. Latent Dirichlet Allocation identified 13 thematic topics and their evolution. Publications rose sharply after 2012,

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.

Abstract Forest cover is positively associated with fish biomass and fisheries yield in the Amazon River floodplain, and many species enter flooded forests to feed, spawn, or seek refuge from predation. Floating macrophyte beds, known as floating meadows, in Amazon floodplains support high fish diversity and serve as nursery habitat for many fishes of ...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the impact of endometrial thickness on the reproductive outcomes of embryo transfer (ET) treatments using both cut‐off‐based meta‐analysis and meta‐analysis of proportions. Methods This was a systematic review and meta‐analysis of comparative studies (randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case–control studies) and

Summary Seagrasses are important contributors to environmental nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems and can improve water quality by absorbing excess nitrogen (N). However, these ecosystems are vulnerable to human‐mediated pressures, including marine heatwaves (MHWs), particularly those of longer duration. We performed an experiment simulating a 30‐d,
