Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 201-213, December 2023., 2023 Livestock disturbances decreased the area of suitable habitat of forest pheasants by 14.28% in 7 years. Livestock activities remarkably increased the nest failure rate (by 2.18 times) of forest pheasants. Abstract The degradation and fragmentation of natural habitats, driven largely by anthropogenic activities such as grazing, represent growing ...

Use of road infrastructure for movement by common terrestrial vertebrates 常见陆生脊椎动物移动过程中对道路基础设施的利用
Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 97-106, September 2023., 2023 In this study, we aimed to determine whether common terrestrial vertebrates used drainage culverts to cross roads, relative to rates of surface crossings. We expected that culvert characteristics (e.g., length, height, width, and openness ratio) and/or environmental characteristics (e.g., vegetation density) would influence road crossing behavior.

Survey optimization for invasive Burmese pythons informed by camera traps 基于自动相机监测技术的入侵物种缅甸蟒的调查优化
Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 143-148, September 2023., 2023 We evaluated the utility of camera traps to survey invasive Burmese pythons in the Florida Keys by deploying cameras pointed towards target areas of known radiotagged snakes under two trigger mechanisms—motion‐triggered or timelapse. We estimated detection probability and diel activity to optimize future surveys using timelapse camera traps and paired ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 1732-1746, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Our knowledge on the responses of permafrost ecosystems to climate warming is critical for assessing the direction and magnitude of permafrost carbon‐climate feedback. However, most of the previous experiments have only been able to warm the air and surface soil, with limited effects on the permafrost temperature.

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 59-70, June 2023., 2023 We used three robust modeling approaches and the largest empirical dataset yet collected for Sunda pangolin to investigate their habitat associations and the likelihood of spatially and temporally overlapping with humans. We found the species has an inconsistent response to disturbances across multiple scales, expected to be driven by Singapore's ...

Evaluating the impact of caribou habitat restoration on predator and prey movement
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Fragmentation of the boreal forest by linear features, including seismic lines, has destabilized predator–prey dynamics, resulting in the decline of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations. Restoration of human‐altered habitat has therefore been identified as a critical management tool for achieving self‐sustaining woodland ...

A novel red‐edge spectral index for retrieving the leaf chlorophyll content
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 2771-2787, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The leaf chlorophyll content (Chlleaf) is a crucial vegetation parameter in carbon cycle modelling and agricultural monitoring at local, regional and global scales. The red‐edge spectral region is sensitive to variations in Chlleaf. An increasing number of sensors are capable of sampling red‐edge bands, providing opportunities to estimate ...

Generalization of threats attributed to large carnivores in areas of high human–wildlife conflict
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Fear‐induced generalization of threats to noninimical stimuli is a behavioral tendency of humans to minimize exposure to potential threats. In human–carnivore conflict zones, people often generalize their fear of predation by obligate carnivores to nonobligate carnivores despite differences in species’ predation rates.

Importance of connectivity for carnivore richness and occupancy in fragmented biodiversity hotspots
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Structural connectivity affects wildlife movement between habitat patches, contributing to the persistence of wildlife populations and their resilience to human‐induced and environmental changes. However, its importance to wildlife population persistence remains unclear, particularly in fragmented landscapes, where there are additional co ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 116-119, June 2025.This study provides definitive evidence of wolf presence based on camera trap surveys conducted in Shangri‐La National Park, northwestern Yunnan, between 2022 and 2024. This remarkable rediscovery highlights the critical role that well‐managed national parks can play in facilitating the recovery of endangered species.
