Unravelling the processes between phenotypic plasticity and population dynamics in migratory birds. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 This work highlights the critical role of the stopover stage of northward migration in the influence of migration tactics and population dynamics of migratory birds across the whole annual cycle. The authors also demonstrate the key processes linking individual migration tactics and population dynamics.

Connectivity between countries established by landbirds and raptors migrating along the African-Eurasian flyway. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2023 Abstract The conservation of long‐distance migratory birds requires coordination between the multiple countries connected by the movements of these species. The recent expansion of tracking studies is shedding new light on these movements, but much of this information is fragmented and inaccessible to conservation practitioners and policy makers.

Near-term ecological forecasting for dynamic aeroconservation of migratory birds. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Near‐term ecological forecasting has the potential to mitigate negative impacts of human modifications on wildlife by directing efficient action through relevant and timely predictions. We used the U.S. avian migration system to highlight ecological forecasting applications for aeroconservation.

A network approach to prioritize conservation efforts for migratory birds. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2020 Abstract Habitat loss can trigger migration network collapse by isolating migratory bird breeding grounds from nonbreeding grounds. Theoretically, habitat loss can have vastly different impacts depending on the site's importance within the migratory corridor.

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Biodiversity offsets aim to counterbalance the residual impacts of development on species and ecosystems. Guidance documents explicitly recommend that biodiversity offset actions be located close to the location of impact because of higher potential for similar ecological conditions, but allowing greater spatial flexibility has been proposed ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 40-51, December 2022., 2022 In May–June 2021 a herd of wild Asian elephants attracted global attention when they walked into the skirts of Kunming, hundreds of km from their original home in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China. This unusual behavior puzzled observers and mobilized an unprecedented response from local authorities.

Trends and progress in studying butterfly migration 蝴蝶迁徙行为的研究趋势与进展
Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 8-24, December 2022., 2022 We show (i) the potential importance of non‐English‐language literature for understanding butterfly migration globally, (ii) studies are mostly concentrated in North America and Europe with very few from the tropics, (iii) most studies are focused on three species: the Monarch (Danaus plexippus), Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) and Red Admiral (Vanessa ...

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

Research on freedom of migration ——mainly taking China’s migration phenomena for example [PDF]
, 2009 作为一项基本人权，迁徙自由不仅被多国宪法、法律以及国际性人权文件所规范，也在我国经济市场化和政治民主化的过城中被越来越多的人所关注。本文主要以中国的迁徙现象为出发点，总结迁徙自由在我国的现状和发展趋势，呼吁我国进行适当的迁徙立法。 文章一共分为四大部分。第一章以迁徙和迁徙自由权的概念、属性为重点。第二章深入研究迁徙自由的两大核心内容，即不仅要保证迁徙的行动自由，更要保障迁徙者在迁徙过程中的身份平等与利益均衡。第三章深入分析迁徙自由的运行动因，为第四章迁徙自由在我国的立法构建做恰当的理论铺垫和现实分析 ...
