A survey of IUCN Bear Specialist Group (BSG) members revealed that habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation is the greatest threat to each of the 7 species of terrestrial bears. Poaching and human–bear conflicts are also high threats for some of these species.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

This study reveals a shift in woody plant community assembly from competitive exclusion in early succession to habitat filtering in later stages within karst areas. Environmental distance (80.54%) contributed significantly more than geographical distance (9.95%), providing strong quantitative evidence that niche processes, particularly habitat ...

渐进水分胁迫对小麦叶绿体光化学活性及类囊体膜蛋白组分水平的影响
小麦幼苗经渐进水分胁迫处理后,叶绿体的电子传递活性将随处理时间逐渐的增长而降低.24h轻度胁迫下,光合全电子链、PSⅡ和PSⅠ电子传递活性有轻微下降,而48h中度和72h重度胁迫,将使它们明显降低.这表明,叶绿体电子传递活性对水分胁迫的响应与胁迫程度有关.PSⅡ的DCIP光还原活性与PSⅡ电子传递活性有相同的变化模式.类囊体膜和PSⅡ膜蛋白组分稳态水平的电泳分析表明,在中度和重度水分胁迫下,叶绿体光化学活性的降低与光合功能蛋白组分含量的减少有关 ...

ABSTRACT Cognitive empires represent a new form of imperial power: influence exercised not through territory or coercion but through the structuring of cognition itself. AI‐enabled systems increasingly shape emotion and judgment from within, producing influence that scales rapidly, appears voluntary, and hardens into mass cognitive dependence.

研究高温胁迫对珙桐叶片生理生化指标的影响,结果表明:随着胁迫时间的延长,叶绿素和可溶性糖的含量降低;而游离脯氨酸和丙二醛的含量增大;相对电导率增大;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性在胁迫2h时稍微增大,以后随着胁迫时间的延长其活性降低。通过以上几项生理指标的测定表明:离体珙桐叶片能耐39℃的高温胁迫2~4h。

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis (BRH) of Elton posits that diverse communities are more resistant to biological invasions. While the effects of climatic stresses and human disturbances on community invasibility have been extensively studied individually, their combined

Abstract Defined by threat, urgency, and uncertainty, crises produce opportunities for government leaders to exploit and create meaning around their policy decisions in such unstable circumstances. In narrating their preferred policy solutions, one of the tools governments can use is relying on evidence‐based information.
