We assessed the distribution of 14 threatened agamid lizard species using Species Distribution Modeling to identify hotspots for these species' conservation. Based on the results, high‐priority areas of threatened agamids were projected to occur specially in the wet zone.

Gaoligong Mountain is home to a large number of rare and endangered species, but the effectiveness of conservation measures in the Gaoligong Mountain Nature Reserve remains uncertain. We predicted the potential distribution areas of 361 rare and endangered wild plants in southern Gaoligong Mountain under current and future climate change scenarios and ...

The strangler fig is known for its hemiepiphytic growth form and conspicuous strangling behavior in the tropics worldwide. It also plays an important role in providing ecological functions in tropical urban ecosystems. This study reveals strangler figs tend to colonize large trees with suitable microsites in a large tropical botanical garden and cause ...

Influence of microclimate and forest management on bat species faced with global change
Abstract Climate refugia, areas where climate is expected to remain relatively stable, can offer a near‐term safe haven for species sensitive to warming temperatures and drought. Understanding the influence of temperature, moisture, and disturbance on sensitive species is critical during this time of rapid climate change.

Potential distribution scenarios of Ophiophagus hannah in current and future climate change scenarios indicate highly suitable areas for this reptile will increase over the period and will shift towards the north of Asia. This may have a prospective alteration in human‐snake encounters in these areas of Asia accordingly.

Abstract Ecosystem state transitions can be ecologically devastating or be a restoration success. State transitions are common within aquatic systems worldwide, especially considering human‐mediated changes to land use and water use. We created a transferable conceptual framework to enable multiscale assessments of state resilience and early warnings ...

濒危植物野外回归是扩大极小种群野生植物种群的有效途径。适宜的回归生境是物种生长的必要条件,研究植物的生理生态特征对不同野外回归生境的适应性,是科学评价濒危物种种群回归生境适宜性的关键指标。本文以野外回归的极小种群野生植物梓叶槭(Acer catalpifolium)为研究对象,探讨了无遮荫、林缘、林隙以及林下(郁闭度由小到大) 4种不同光照条件对梓叶槭幼树的形态特征、光合特征、类黄酮指数及叶绿素含量等的影响。结果表明:(1)随着郁闭度的增大,梓叶槭幼树的基径、冠幅以及新生枝条数量产生差异 ...
