Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral species
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), were severely affected.

野生动物学报, 1999 生物群落的概念很早以前就出现于生物学的各种论著中.本世纪初,对这一概念的理解有两种截然不同的观点,一是认为群落是物种的松散可重复的集合,能作为一个整体在功能上密切统一,并表现出单独机体（超有机体）的特征;第二种观点认为群落至多是物种在分布上的偶然巧合,缺乏内在的组织结构,群落中的物种各自独立地对环境条件做出反映.持不同观点的两大学派各持己见,展开了论战.争论之初,第一种观点占了上风,并统治了该领域几十年之久.到本世纪四十年代末,许多生态学家对第一种群落观点提出挑战认为群落的分类不应该严格不变 ...

野生动物学报, 2021 使用红外相机技术于2017年2月—2018年4月所获数据对卧龙羚牛（Budorcas taxicolor）及其同域地栖动物进行空间关系分析，建立物种的空间关联网络，旨在探讨羚牛与其群落的关系现状。结果显示：①在研究区域发现的35种动物中，20种构成1个包含羚牛、川金丝猴（Rhinopithecus roxellana）、大熊猫（Ailuropoda melanoleuca）等重要物种的空间网络。②海拔、地形、生境类型和植被覆盖度对羚牛分布没有限制作用，表明羚牛分布区可以在不同海拔上下移动 ...

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

野生动物学报, 2008 作者分别于1998年、2005年和2007年春季采用样线法调查了胡列也吐湿地水鸟的种数和数量,得出这3 a水鸟群落多样性指数分别为3.66、3.85和3.33。研究了其变化并探讨原因,分析认为,因适当的补水机制导致2005年群落多样性和均匀度最高,湿地鸟类群落变丰富。2007年补水水位过深导致该生境内鸟类群落多样性下降。
