Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 334-338, September 2025.This study reports four rare events of spiders preying on vertebrates in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Southwest China. The predators included a giant golden orb‐weaver, huntsman spiders, and a wandering spider, while the prey consisted of a small bird, a blind snake, a gecko, and a tiny shrew.

Multiple global change factors alter the scaling of nitrogen to phosphorus in alpine plants
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2044-2055, August 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometry and allometry of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) reflect nutrient absorption and dynamic allocation by plants, and can be regulated by global change factors (e.g. nitrogen enrichment, climate warming and altered precipitation). Yet, how multiple global

Predicting Democracy Support in the Middle East and North Africa
World Affairs, Volume 188, Issue 3, Fall 2025.ABSTRACT Democracy support among Arab citizens has decreased noticeably in the past decade. The Arab Barometer data demonstrates more than an average of 15–30 points drop‐in democracy support depending on the country considered. The present research utilizes the seventh wave data set offered by the Arab Barometer conducted between October 2021 and July

China's Eco‐Civilisation, Climate Leviathan, and Hobbesian Energy Transition
Antipode, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 830-861, May 2025.Abstract Scholars have hitherto tended to theorise China's ecological civilisation project either as a form of environmental authoritarianism or as a vision of eco‐socialism. This paper contributes to the conversation by conducting a textual analysis of Chinese scholarly discussions on eco‐civilisation.

Big Cat Mortality in Subsistence Hunts in Amazonia 亚马孙雨林地区生计狩猎中的大型猫科动物致死情况研究
Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 16-21, March 2025.We use data from a participatory biodiversity monitoring program to estimate the annual mortality of jaguars and pumas resulting from subsistence hunts in two Amazonian Extractive Reserves. We estimate that around 50 big cats are killed annually in the study area, which is consistent with an independent estimate for the same area and within the same ...

The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

An integrated historical study on human–tiger interactions in China 中国人虎互动关系的综合性历史研究
Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 183-195, September 2024.Tigers are important for maintaining a variety of life in the world as they are the top predators in the food chain. Human–wildlife conflict, including conflicts between humans and tigers, has been a global issue throughout history. This article focuses on human–tiger interactions in China, discussing various types of conflicts and measures for ...

Wildlife Letters, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 83-89, June 2024.In this study, we show that environmental food availability influences wildlife detection probability when using food baits. We sampled small mammals in Borneo with live traps baited with fruit before, during and after the rainforest experienced a mast fruiting event, which drastically altered environmental food availability.

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.Abstract Reintroduced populations are typically considered to progress through establishment, growth, and regulatory phases. However, most reintroduction programs do not monitor intensively enough to test this conceptual model. We studied population indices derived from track activity of 4 threatened species (greater bilby [Macrotis lagotis], burrowing

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2011 通过室内模拟降雨研究降雨强度对含砾石土壤产沙及入渗的影响。结果表明:整个降雨过程中,60mm/h的降雨强度下,产沙率变化相对平稳,90mm/h和120mm/h的降雨强度下,土壤产沙率的变化均因为有细沟而产生波动,120mm/h的降雨强度下,细沟出现的时间较90mm/h的降雨强度提前了5～20min;降雨强度的增加导致土壤总产沙量也显著增加,当降雨强度从90mm/h增加到120mm/h时,总产沙量的增加量是降雨强度从60mm/h增加到90mm/h时总产沙量增加量的0.83～2.82倍;随着降雨强度的增加 ...
