Engaging youth in biodiversity education through visual narrative

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 6, December 2024.
Abstract Engaging youth in early and sustained conservation education has important implications for promoting positive attitudes and behaviors in those who will become the future of conservation and management. Toward this goal, visual narratives (comic books, graphic novels) are an increasingly popular method used by conservation scientists to ...

The enigmatic life history of the bamboo explained as a strategy to arrest succession

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 94, Issue 4, November 2024.
Abstract Bamboos are perennial woody grasses that display an enigmatic mix of traits. Bamboo is highly shade intolerant like early‐successional trees. Without secondary xylem, bamboos cannot continue to grow once they reach a maximum height or replace xylem damaged by hydraulic stress and must instead replace each stem after a few years using ...

Changing plant phosphorus acquisition strategies in relation to altered soil phosphorus fractions after wetland drainage

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 11, Page 2433-2446, November 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phosphorus (P) acquisition strategy is considered to be an intrinsic driver behind plant succession. However, variations in plant P acquisition strategies in connection to soil P fraction changes after wetland drainage remain unclear.

A prospective study evaluating the correlation between local weather conditions, pollen counts and pruritus of dogs with atopic dermatitis

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 500-507, October 2024.
Abstract Background Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a hereditary, generally pruritic and predominantly T‐cell‐driven inflammatory skin disease, involving an interplay between skin barrier abnormalities, allergen sensitisation and microbial dysbiosis.

Nitrate attenuation processes in groundwater at an upland slope-wetland plot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In the upland slope-wetland plot of about 300m^2 in area, detailed study was conducted to clarify relationship among groundwater flow paths, destribution of NO_3^- concentrations, and NO_3^- attenuation processes. The results are summarized as follows.(1)

A comparison of home range estimates using the time local convex hull (T‐LoCoH) and minimum convex polygon (MCP) methods for African savannah elephants in a semi‐arid protected area 对比时间局部凸壳 (T‐LoCoH) 和最小凸多边形 (MCP) 方法估算半干旱保护地内非洲草原象家域范围

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 149-164, September 2024.
Time‐local convex hull indicates smaller home range size for the African savannah elephants than MCP, indicating that elephants are likely exploiting certain regions more intensively rather than traveling extensively. During the transitional season, the home range size grows.

Assessing predictions from optimal egg theory for an ectotherm relative to habitat duration 涉及生境条件持续时间的变温动物最优卵大小理论的预测评估

open access: yesWildlife Letters, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 124-130, September 2024.
Median ovum size (mm; ±1 quartile) of wood frogs from three different wetland classes (long = long hydroperiods, short = short hydroperiods, and fish presence/absence) near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada from 2014 to 2019. Data points are individual egg mass values. Abstract Optimal egg size theory predicts females must balance investment per offspring to
