Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Using a 3‐year, broad‐scale camera‐trap network in western Kansas, we tested whether coyotes and American badgers exhibit spatiotemporal patterns consistent with coordinated hunting. Despite high diel activity overlap, detection‐conditioned co‐detections occurred far less frequently than expected under independence, and short‐term temporal sequencing ...

Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Taxonomy, distribution and comparative study of thermal tolerance in Nipponacmea limpets along China coast [PDF]
作为生物圈最脆弱的系统之一,潮间带生态系统是研究全球变化对群落动态影响的理想系统。全球变化带来的环境变化如温度升高、海水酸化和海平面升高等可影响生物行为、生理以及进化适应,从而改变潮间带生物的种群动态和群落结构。而面对环境变化,物种间由于适应能力的差异,会出现“胜利者”和“失败者”。背尖贝(GenusNipponacmea)是常见潮间带生物,广泛分布于我国沿海中-高潮间带岩石上。本研究利用DNA条形码研究中国沿岸背尖贝的分类、系统发育以及地理分布格局,并测定不同温度下背尖贝属间生理和分子适应的差异 ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

The impacts of coastal defense structures on rocky intertidal community in Yangtze River Delta [PDF]
长江三角洲是长江、黄河以及在此区域的其他河流的活动形成的冲积平原。末次冰期(LastGlacialMaximum,LGM)以后的一万年以来,长江三角洲在海陆交互作用的影响下逐渐扩展。位于长江三角洲地带的近900km的江苏沿岸海岸线除约40km的基岩海岸以外,均为不适宜岩相潮间带生物大量聚集的淤泥质平原海岸。近年来随着中国沿海经济的飞速发展,对土地需求的不断增加,越来越多的沿岸防护建筑正在被修建,成为我国沿岸的“海上长城”。这些沿岸防护建筑显著改变了江苏沿岸的滩涂景观,可能对潮间带群落造成严重影响 ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
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

Mathematical theory research on some equations of hydrodynamics and population dynamics [PDF]
本论文分为两部分,第二章,第三章和第四章为第一部分,主要围绕几类流体动力学方程组,即带阻尼的可压Euler方程组,可压磁流体动力学(MHD)方程组和稳态的可压液晶流动力学方程组,研究这三个偏微分方程组解的适定性问题。第五章为第二部分,主要围绕种群动态方程组,研究其逼近方程组强解的适定性问题以及平衡态的不稳定性态问题。 在第二章中,我们考虑了三维带阻尼的可压Euler方程组的时间周期解。运用正则化逼近的方法和拓扑度理论,我们在周期域上证明了在小时间周期外力作用下时间周期解的存在性。再根据能量估计 ...
