Freshwater biodiversity in China is threatened by multiple anthropogenic factors, and while there are some reasons to suppose it may be possible to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, the variety of threats and their likely interactions with ongoing climate change provide little basis for optimism. For example, the historic overexploitation of Yangtze

以鳞片作为鉴定年龄的材料,对龙溪河厚颌鲂(Megalobrama pellegrini)种群开展年龄结构与生长特性的研究。结果表明,厚颌鲂鳞片年轮结构呈疏密切割型,年轮特征显著,可用于年龄鉴定,3~4月是年轮形成高峰时间。种群由0~7龄共8个龄组组成,以低龄个体为主,1~3龄个体占83.14%,体长分布主要集中在130~250 mm间(77.71%)。体质量分布主要集中在50~250 g(64.33%)。群体总性比为♀∶♂=1∶1.03,符合1∶1理论比值。体长和鳞径呈直线关系 ...

Canada Warblers are declining sharply across their range throughout several genetically distinct population units, but habitat preferences are unknown for the population segment occurring in Pennsylvania, United States. We addressed this knowledge gap by leveraging machine learning methods and a large existing acoustic data set to uncover several ...

Knowledge of the reproductive success of organisms in urban habitat fragments is needed to conserve biodiversity in our urbanizing world. We found that differences in nest success among birds in urban forest patches is explained by factors on three distinct spatial scales even across a limited urban development gradient.

赤胸鹀(Emberiza fucata fucata)是低山带草甸鸟类。主要在我国东北繁殖,越冬地在长江中下游及以南地区。关于赤胸鹀,山岸哲等(1971)曾在日本研究了它的越冬生态,牛山英彦(1968)做了繁殖期领地等问题的研究。对于赤胸鹀比较有系统的繁殖生态,尚未有报道。笔者于1980~1981年在长白山北坡对它的繁殖习性做了初步研究现将结果整理如下: 一、迁徙赤胸鹀每年4月下旬~5月上旬迁到长白山,8月末—9月初离开。其间停留130~150天左右 ...

Exposure of wetlands important for nonbreeding waterbirds to sea‐level rise in the Mediterranean
Abstract Sea‐level rise (SLR) is expected to cause major changes to coastal wetlands, which are among the world's most vulnerable ecosystems and are critical for nonbreeding waterbirds. Because strategies for adaptation to SLR, such as nature‐based solutions and designation of protected areas, can locally reduce the negative effects of coastal flooding

Linking extinction risk to the economic and nutritional value of sharks in small‐scale fisheries
Abstract To achieve sustainable shark fisheries, it is key to understand not only the biological drivers and environmental consequences of overfishing, but also the social and economic drivers of fisher behavior. The extinction risk of sharks is highest in coastal tropical waters, where small‐scale fisheries are most prevalent.

Adivasi (Tea Tribe) worldviews of living close to wild Asian elephants in Assam, India
Abstract In Assam state, northeastern India, human–elephant conflict mitigation has included technocentric measures, such as installation of barriers, alternative livelihoods, and afforestation. Such measures treat conflict as a technical problem with linear cause–effect relations and are usually ineffective over the long term because they do not ...
