Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with deep corollas are frequently associated with nectar robbing, a behaviour that often reduces pollen transfer and seed production. Robbing scars, however, may further affect plant reproductive success through rainwater entry into corolla tubes.

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

Gongye shui chuli, 2011 采用序批式进水对亚硝化菌进行定向富集培养驯化, 获得了高浓度亚硝化菌, 其氨氮容积去除负荷达0.5 kg/(m3.d)以上。结合悬浮生物滤池工艺, 强化生物硝化处理化工类氨氮废水具有适应性强、成本低、硝化效率高的特点。在对苯胺类、抗生素类废水生化出水的强化生物硝化处理试验中, 苯胺类废水氨氮去除率达80%, 抗生素类废水氨氮去除率达到85%以上, 氨氮去除效果较理想。试验证明该工艺比较适用于复杂的化工类氨氮废水的去除。

Structured decision‐making as a framework to incorporate social equity into conservation decisions
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many conservation challenges require negotiating trade‐offs between the needs of different actors. Global frameworks such as the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework explicitly call for diverse participation and social equity in conservation decision‐making.

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

Gongye shui chuli, 2006 介绍了一种新的制药废水处理方法--混凝强化生物处理技术。将少量的硫酸亚铁混凝剂与废水混凝后进入生物曝气池运行，混凝过程形成的沉淀颗粒既能支持微生物的生长，又能在其表面形成生物活性膜，成为污泥菌类理想的载体，从而强化了生物处理的去除效果。该方法所需投加混凝剂的质量浓度仅为50mg/L，处理后产生的污泥量少，且污泥的沉降性能好。与常规的生物处理法相比，具有处理负荷高、去除效果明显等优点。并从混凝作用、生物膜的形成、铁离子对微生物的电子传递及催化作用等方面探讨了混凝强化生物处理的作用机理。

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...
