Human‐caused leopard deaths in Sri Lanka averaged 9.65 ± 4.5 records year−1 over 17 years (2008–2024; n = 164), with records highly clustered in the central highland mosaic ecosystem. Mortality was dominated by adult males and driven primarily by snaring in plantation landscapes, and indicating an increase approximately 0.7–0.8 deaths per year.

Inferring alternative ecosystem states with field survey data
Abstract Many ecosystems potentially exhibit alternative stable states, where distinct states can coexist under identical environmental conditions. While simulation models have generated key hypotheses in alternative stable states theory, they often rely on scale‐free parameters disconnected from real ecosystems.

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

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
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

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates
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.

Regulatory compliance and support for altered management of the exotic pet trade
Abstract Globally, the exotic pet trade has contributed to species invasion, disease, and animal welfare risks. Although scientists have advocated for increased trade regulation, the success of management and regulatory efforts depends on compliance by participants in the exotic pet trade. We used a regulatory compliance framework to investigate exotic

对青海湖裸鲤55个个体Cytb基因全序列进行了测定和分析,探讨了种群结构和群体遗传多样性。用MEGA2.1软件分析了碱基组成和序列变异;以黄河花斑裸鲤为外群,构建了单倍型的NJ树;用Arlequin Ver.2 000程序计算了群体内遗传变异值(Fst)。结果显示,青海湖裸鲤群体没有显著的种群结构,提示青海湖裸鲤群体内存在广泛的基因交流;种群的遗传多样性较低(π=0.7828±0.0532),青海湖裸鲤种群很可能在历史上遭受过严重的“瓶颈效应”
