In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

Abstract Consumer demand for ivory perpetuates the unsustainable and illegal killing of African elephants and other wildlife species. Interventions that aim to change consumer behavior are increasingly recognized as a crucial element of demand management. However, poor design and implementation have limited their effectiveness.

使用三维立体成像定义大脑负性运动皮质区

open access: yesZhongshan Daxue xuebao. Yixue kexue ban, 2008
【目的】 通过大脑硬膜下的电极刺激,精确地定义负性运动皮质区,进一步研究这些区域的临床意义、【方法】 85名癫痫病人接受了大脑皮层的电刺激实验,其中12名病人出现了负性运动?我们用三维立体成像技术定义5名病人的负性运动功能区域,这是三维立体成像技术首次使用于负性运动研究、【结果】 在大脑外侧面,控制手臂和手指大部分负性运动的皮质广泛分布在大脑的初级运动皮质区,有一些分布在前运动皮质区和感觉功能皮质区。此外,我们还发现负性运动皮质区和前额部的眼动区有部分的重叠。在脑部的内侧面,负性运动皮质区主要 ...

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.
