At artificial bait sites, raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) exhibited delayed temporal responses to red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) despite dominating direct encounters. In contrast, the invasive masked palm civet (Paguma larvata) showed no significant temporal responses toward either native species (raccoon dogs and red foxes), despite consistently ...

Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Tracking with GPS and accelerometers shows that great evening bats in subtropical China use two overwintering strategies: some remain in continuous hibernation, while others switch between torpor and activity as temperatures change. This behavioral flexibility, shaped by climate, underscores the importance of protecting diverse roosting habitats for ...

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners
ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.

Clip Voice: Misogyny and the Renegotiation of a Gendered Vocal Style in Chinese Digital Discourse
ABSTRACT The participatory culture of social media allows women's voices to be heard but also parodied and policed. On Chinese social media platforms, where performers rapidly adopt and transform vocal trends for engagement, discourse on gendered vocal styles has proliferated.

Uncovering Xi Jinping's Policy Agenda: Text As Data Approach
How many agendas has Xi Jinping put forth and promoted since taking office in 2012, and what are the types of agendas? How much of political attention has each agenda received, and how has the allocation of attention changed over time? We utilize a dataset of presidential statements, speeches, and reports from 2012 to 2022 and employed automated text ...

针对飞鼠冬季选取的栖息地巢穴材料的导热系数开展研究,是实现飞鼠越冬巢穴内部热环境研究的重要理论前提。本文对飞鼠越冬选取巢穴材料的导热系数开展实验研究,将巢穴材料分为树洞材料和巢材两种。研究结果表明飞鼠越冬选取树洞的导热系数在0.145~0.174 W/(m·℃)间。而飞鼠越冬时选取巢穴内巢材的导热系数平均值为0.0446 W/(m·℃)。二者结合可以使冬季巢穴内保温隔热效果显著,在飞鼠越冬中发挥着重要的作用。

Abstract Although agriculture and plantation forestry have decreased natural open habitats and old‐growth forests, conservation in managed lands is considered essential for achieving “nature‐positive” goals that reverse biodiversity trends from negative to positive. From subboreal to temperate regions, mature conifer plantations with broadleaved trees (
