Urbanization and Seasonality Increase Introduced Plant Consumption by the World's Southernmost Parrot 城市化与季节性增加了全球最南端鹦鹉对引入植物的取食

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Profiling EFL Students’ Motivation and Anxiety in Collaborative Learning: Associations With Teachers’ Support, Self‐Regulated Learning, and Achievement

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous research has established the relationships between motivation, anxiety, teachers’ support, and self‐regulated learning (SRL) in English‐as‐a‐foreign‐language (EFL) learning. Most of the studies, however, have taken a variable‐centered approach in addressing the variable correlations, while learners’ characteristics and variable links ...

Compliance in Regulatory Gray Areas: The Case of the Organic Seed Standard

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptive regulations, designed to balance flexibility with accountability, can embed provisions that unintentionally leave room for firms to shirk on their responsibilities by exploiting flexibility. We call these provisions “regulatory gray areas,” and ask: how should we understand (non‐)compliance in adaptive regulatory settings?

Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1231-1247, April 2026.
Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...

瓯江口春秋两季大型底栖动物群落β多样性格局及其驱动因素分析

Haiyang yu huzhao
β多样性是连接α多样性和γ多样性的重要枢纽，其格局及构建机制一直是生态学研究的热点，尤其是在海洋生态系统中对其的研究相对较少。从物种组成β多样性的角度出发，应用Mantel检验分析了瓯江口β多样性及其组分与地理距离的关系。通过基于矩阵的多元回归分析(multiple regression on distance matrices, MRM)、物种组成与环境因子之间的Mantel检验以及Shannon多样性指数与环境因子间的Spearman分析，综合探讨了构建瓯江口β多样性的主要环境因子。研究结果显示 ...
