Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Æ E Æ Å – Reshaping the Role of Træna Fishermen
, 2022 This diploma project aims to strengthen the viability of Træna’s community by proposing an ocean research facility in the archipelago, enabling the next generation of local fishermen to collect oceanographic data while working at sea. The idea of the fisherman as oceanographer is inextricably linked to the architectural program on the island of ...

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

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2005 采用室内分根营养液培养及PEG模拟水分胁迫的方法,研究不同氮素形态(NH4 -N、NO3--N、NH4 -N/NO3--N比为50/50)对水稻局部根系遭遇水分胁迫后的生物学响应状况。结果表明,在非水分胁迫的条件下,供应NO3--N营养相对促进分蘖期水稻的根系发育,而供应NH4 -N营养相对促进分蘖期水稻的地上部发育;在局部根系受到水分胁迫的条件下,NH4 -N和NO3--N混合营养水稻生物量增量分别比全NO3--N和全NH4 -N营养水稻高31.7%和37.7%,其中地上部生物量增量也分别比全NO3--

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2007 以空间图形和数据库为基础,利用GIS将安塞县的土壤水分样点数据与地理数据结合起来,建立不同利用类型-土地类型-坡度分级的浮点型土壤含水率字段,对安塞县域尺度土壤水分制图及其定量化方法进行了研究和探讨;对安塞县不同土层土壤水分状态和分布进行了定量分析。结果表明：0～60 cm土层,雨季前,土壤水分基本处于极难效或难效状态;雨季后,土壤水分基本处于迟效或速效状态;土壤水分补偿率高。60～120 cm土层,雨季前,土壤水分主要为极难效水、难效水和迟效水;雨季后,土壤水分基本处于迟效和速效状态 ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...
