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

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

Conservation 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.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
Conservation 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

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2007 植被恢复是退化生态系统重建的重要途径，植被恢复过程中物种多样性的变化反映了植被的恢复程度，通过群落调查，研究了太行山片麻岩区植被恢复过程中群落物种多样性特征及其与土壤含水量之间的关系，结果表明：物种多样性指数天然灌木群落〉人工乔木群落。乔木和灌木群落各指数大小为封禁20年〉封禁10年〉封禁5年。6种群落其土壤含水量均偏低，随着封禁时间的加长，含水量略为增加，但天然灌木群落平均含水量稍大于人工群落。不同封禁时间群落土壤含水贯与均匀度指数成正相关，多样性指数与含水量先呈正相关，在封禁20年时，呈负相关 ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation 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 ...

野生动物学报, 2006 通过2001～2005年对黑龙江省蝮蛇资源进行调查研究,确定黑龙江省的蝮蛇为乌苏里蝮（Gloydius ussuriensis）、岩栖蝮（G.saxatilis）和中介蝮（G.intermedius）三种,主要分布在大、小兴安岭及东部山地。其中乌苏里蝮为广布种,种群数量居多；岩栖蝮主要分布在黑龙江省南部,数量较多；中介蝮主要分布在黑龙江省北部,种群数量较少,且与岩栖蝮存在地理隔离。同时对黑龙江省蝮蛇的保护现状和影响种群增长的因素进行分析,提出种群管理和合理利用的意见。

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...
