Housing policies and market returns in China: Evidence from a novel policy index
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the relationship between housing policy interventions and market returns in China with a novel policy index. Using natural language processing techniques, we construct a sentence‐level policy index based on government policy documents from 2008 to 2024.

When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

野生动物学报, 2022 为了明晰食物丰容对猕猴（Macaca mulatta）行为的影响，采用瞬时扫描法对南京红山森林动物园86只猕猴进行食物丰容前、后日行为时间节律的研究。结果表明：（1）丰容前猕猴在白天通常以休息（日均43.80%）、摄食（日均34.60%）和攀爬移动行为（日均16.40%）为主；（2）丰容后，摄食行为09：00和15：00极显著低于丰容前 ...

Insights for conservation from the Ecological Knowledge Games project
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental conservation research requires robust methods for collecting large‐scale behavioral data and engaging diverse stakeholders in decision‐making processes. We (Y.P., A.B.D., and N.B.) created EcoKnowGames (Ecological Knowledge Games), a transdisciplinary project that develops knowledge games for conservation science and data ...

Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practice
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation.

野生动物学报, 2018 鸟类的行为学研究是对其进行深层次生态学研究以及开展保护和管理行动的前提,而清晰且完整的个体行为谱则是保证行为学研究在统一框架内进行的基础。作为青藏高原的特有物种,黑颈鹤(Grus nigricollis)目前仍是研究最为薄弱的鹤类之一,而其行为谱的缺乏使得有限的已有研究结果难以比较和取舍。基于此,本文于2012～2015年间在黑颈鹤的繁殖地和越冬地开展野外工作,通过野外观察以及获取的影像资料,对其个体行为进行了细致的描述并完成了个体行为谱的构建。本文以静息姿态为基础,将黑颈鹤的个体行为分为休憩行为 ...
