Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Comparative study in Fujian and Taiwan Current Situation of Physical Health —Xiamen University and National Taiwan Normal University [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
国民体质是国家发展的基础,大学生作为社会的中坚力量,是国家未来发展的主力军,因此大学生体质健康状况一直是国家关注的重点。闽台两地一水之隔,气候相同,习俗相近,拥有同样的文化背景,但因为两地处于不同的社会制度中,大学生的体质健康状况肯定也存在一定差异。 在此背景下,本研究以厦门大学和台湾师范大学为例,以厦门大学(福建生源)2015年在校大学生体质健康标准测试数据及台湾师范大学2015年在校大学生体适能测试数据为研究对象,通过采用文献资料,实地调查,实地测试等方法对两校体质健康现状进行对比 ...

A Systematic Scoping Review of Self‐Regulated Learning With AI in Language Education

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought new opportunities for second/foreign language (L2) education while also raising concerns about the use of AI tools. This systematic scoping review provides a snapshot of the current state of research situated at the intersection of self‐regulated learning (SRL) and AI

The Influence of Financing Structure on Exploratory Innovation and Routine Innovation——Empirical research based on communication industry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
科学是技术之源,技术是产业之源,技术创新是驱动一个产业向前发展的不竭动力,而通信行业正是产业技术创新的先驱力量,2015年世界专利申请数量排名前四的企业全部来自通信行业,只有研究通信行业的技术创新,才能探索出技术创新的真正奥秘。通信行业最显著的两个特征是技术密集性和资本密集性,因此通信行业的融资环境将直接影响通信行业的技术创新,研究通信行业融资结构对技术创新的影响具有深远的意义。 熊彼得提出技术创新的概念后,国内外大量的学者围绕技术创新展开了研究,但针对作为技术创新先驱力量的通信行业的研究却很少 ...

Artificial Intelligence for Language Learning: A Systematic Review of its Design, Theoretical Foundations, Implementation, and Impact

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the use of AI technologies (e.g., chatbots and automated writing evaluations (AWE)) has gained considerable attention in language learning fields in recent years, how AI technologies have been designed and implemented in language learning education, as well as their effectiveness, is understudied.
