Growing Demand and Uneven Supply: Eight Years of Nature Education in China 需求增长与供给不均:中国自然教育八年发展回顾
Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the role of nature education in advancing conservation and sustainability in China between 2014 and 2023. Drawing on national survey reports and historical–comparative methods, it analyses the dynamics of public demand, institutional supply, and practitioner capacity.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Studies have shown that organisms may adjust metabolic rates in response to thermal variability, highlighting metabolic plasticity as a key adaptive mechanism. Understanding the extent of metabolic plasticity of an organism is key to predicting its adaptation to climate

Hobbyist preferences for pet freshwater turtles
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The burgeoning pet trade is a primary threat to wild freshwater turtles worldwide. Although the risks from commercial exploitation of turtles have been discussed widely, there is little empirical research on preferences for pet turtles from a hobbyists’ perspective.

When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how foreign language teachers’ beliefs about the medium of instruction and translanguaging evolve over time by revisiting three in‐service teachers twelve years after their initial interviews. Using a qualitative longitudinal design, the study traces how translanguaging was initially framed as pedagogically deficient but ...

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 ...

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Net photosynthetic rate (Pn) serves as a key indicator for evaluating plant growth and yield. In order to explore an effective method for monitoring winter rapeseed Pn using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral technology, the winter rapeseed was taken as the research object and the multispectral images were obtained through UAVs in ...

野生动物学报, 2017 郑州市动物园饲养5只豹,2雄3雌。2014年3月27日,其中1只母豹进入生育期,且第一次怀孕,该怀孕母豹生下1只小豹。通过监控发现,母豹分娩后十分惊恐,叼着小豹四处躲藏,拒绝哺乳,于是将幼豹拿出,进行人工育幼。新出生的小豹发育正常,个体较小,体重约500 g。每天用刚挤出的新鲜山羊奶代替母乳进行人工育幼。经过60多天的人工哺育,小豹体重和体长增加明显,由初生时的450 g增加至1 900 g,体长(含尾长)由37 cm增长至62 cm。根据幼豹的生长发育特点及观察结果,总结出幼豹在不同发育时期对温度 ...
