Effects of spatial autocorrelation and sampling design on estimates of protected area effectiveness

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1452-1462, December 2020., 2020
Abstract Estimating the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) in reducing deforestation is useful to support decisions on whether to invest in better management of areas already protected or to create new ones. Statistical matching is commonly used to assess this effectiveness, but spatial autocorrelation and regional differences in protection ...

Right inferior frontal gyrus: An integrative hub in tonal bilinguals

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 2152-2159, June 1, 2020., 2020
Abstract Right hemispheric dominance in tonal bilingualism is still controversial. In this study, we investigated hemispheric dominance in 30 simultaneous Bai‐Mandarin tonal bilinguals and 28 Mandarin monolinguals using multimodal neuroimaging. Resting‐state functional connectivity (RSFC) analysis was first performed to reveal the changes of functional

云南泸沽湖省级自然保护区越冬水鸟群落组成及相关性分析

野生动物学报, 2022
2016年9月—2019年3月，采用样点法在水鸟的南迁期（8—10月）、越冬期（11月—次年1月）、北迁期（2—3月）对云南省泸沽湖省级自然保护区迁徙水鸟进行监测。共记录水鸟7目10科38种，其中有国家二级重点保护野生鸟类3种、云南省省级重点保护野生鸟类1种。研究期内，保护区内越冬水鸟优势种累计记录10种，分别为赤麻鸭（Tadorna ferruginea）、绿头鸭（Anas platyrhynchos）、赤颈鸭（Mareca penelope）、罗纹鸭（M.falcata）、赤膀鸭（M ...

云南剑湖冬季水鸟群落特征及种群动态

野生动物学报, 2020
剑湖是云贵高原重要的水鸟越冬地，掌握其冬季水鸟群落特征对水鸟保护以及湿地资源管理具有重要指导意义。于2017年和2018年冬季采用样点法对剑湖进行了水鸟多样性调查。共记录到水鸟6目9科36种，种类组成上以雁形目鸭科鸟类为主（16种），但数量上以秧鸡科骨顶鸡（36.53%）和紫水鸡（17.09%）为优势。根据物种丰富度非参数估计，剑湖水鸟丰富度为42.80 ± 0.86。从居留类型上来看，剑湖水鸟以冬候鸟为主，占总记录种数的72.22%。对比两冬季数据发现剑湖水鸟多样性存在显著的年际变化 ...

云南异龙湖冬季水鸟群落多样性及年际变化

野生动物学报, 2021
2016年11月—2019年3月，采用“点样带法”对云南异龙湖冬季水鸟群落进行研究，共记录冬季水鸟8目14科59种，其中，2016—2017年调查到6目10科41种；2017—2018年调查到8目14科56种；2018—2019年调查到8目14科59种。从水鸟群落组成的年度动态图上看，物种数呈增加趋势，最多出现在2018—2019年，记录59种；从水鸟物种数量的年度动态图上看，物种数呈先增加后减少趋势，最多出现在2017—2018年。冬季水鸟物种数及个体数呈逐年增加，2016 ...

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

Exploring the Direct and Indirect Relations of E‐Book Narration and Bilingual Parent–Child Talk to Children's Learning Outcomes in EFL Shared Reading

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT E‐books, powered by multimedia and interactive features, are widely used to support young children's language and literacy development. This study examines the relations of e‐book narration and bilingual parent–child talk to children's learning during shared reading. Data from 121 English learners in China and their parents were analyzed using

The Reciprocal Relation Between Vocabulary Knowledge and Compound Structure Awareness and Their Contributions to Reading Comprehension in Chinese Children: A Longitudinal Study From Grades 3 to 6

Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 1, January/February/March 2025.
Abstract Previous studies uncover that vocabulary knowledge may be related to compound structure awareness (the awareness of relational structure embedded in compound words), and they both contribute to reading comprehension. Yet, limited studies have examined the dynamic relationship between vocabulary knowledge and compound structure awareness, or ...

Guanotrophy: Waterbirds Pay for Using Resources at Their Wintering Habitats 鸟粪营养学 ：水鸟在越冬栖息地使用资源后留下回报

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 382-397, December 2024.
Significant waterbird colonisation was recorded in the wintering period (October through March in 2018–2019 and 2019–2020) in wetlands on Central Asian and East Australasian Flyways. Different limnochemical conditions influenced nitrate and phosphate concentrations.

Can local ecological knowledge establish conservation baselines for the Critically Endangered Blue‐crowned Laughingthrush?

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1262-1276, June 2024.
Abstract Designing conservation interventions for rare species can be hindered by a lack of relevant data. Local ecological knowledge (LEK) has potential to provide rapidly collected, cost‐effective data across large spatio‐temporal scales, but has rarely been used as a source of conservation‐relevant information for the Asian Songbird Crisis. The Blue‐
