Sustainability of medicinal animal products: Tokay geckos and pangolin scales as traditional Chinese medicine 药用动物制品的可持续性:作为传统中药的大壁虎和穿山甲片

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 176-186, December 2023., 2023
Public opinion toward pangolin and tokay gecko medicinal trade reveals significant differences in attitude and knowledge aspects but not in the percentage of hypothetical users. It is thus interesting to investigate hypothetical user profiles and the driving factors behind their choices. Setting up legal protection status for species is found to be the

Stringency and timeliness of COVID‐19 policies in managing the pandemic in Queensland: Lessons from 2020

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 570-586, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Queensland experienced relatively low case numbers during the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. This may be due to timely, stringent policies, yet there is currently no research evaluating this link, despite the state government playing such a primary role in the pandemic response.

Ecological knowledge and value of traded species: Local awareness of native turtles in Hainan, China

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 802-812, December 2023., 2023
Wildlife trade is driving species extinctions globally, and the Asian Turtle Crisis is posing a threat to turtle species that are collected from the wild. To assess local people's awareness of potentially traded species, we conducted an interview around a key protected area in Hainan, China, by investigating relationships between species' salience ...

Spatial mismatch between wild bee diversity hotspots and protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Wild bees are critical for multiple ecosystem functions but are currently threatened. Understanding the determinants of the spatial distribution of wild bee diversity is a major research gap for their conservation. We modeled wild bee α and β taxonomic and functional diversity in Switzerland to uncover countrywide diversity patterns and ...

Prediction of postnatal circulation in pulmonary atresia/critical stenosis with intact ventricular septum: systematic review and external validation of models

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 14-22, July 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Objective A favorable postnatal prognosis in cases of pulmonary atresia/critical stenosis with intact ventricular septum (PA/CS‐IVS) is generally equated with the possibility of achieving biventricular (BV) repair. Identification of fetuses that will have postnatal univentricular (UV) circulation is key for prenatal counseling, optimization of

Sleeve gastrectomy improved microvascular phenotypes from obesity cohort, detected with optical coherence tomography angiography 通过光学相干断层扫描血管成像检测发现袖状胃切除术改善肥胖队列的微血管表型

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 313-324, April 2023., 2023
Highlights Different microvascular phenotypes were detected by noninvasive optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in metabolically healthy obesity and metabolic syndrome patients. Baseline blood pressure and insulin status may be key determinants for vascular benefit from bariatric surgery.

Relationships between hope, optimism, and conservation engagement

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract The loss and degradation of nature can lead to hopelessness and despair, which may undermine engagement in conservation actions. Emerging movements, such as that behind the organization Conservation Optimism, aim to avert potential despair of those involved in conservation.

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

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

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 616-626, December 2025.
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
