Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Studies have shown that organisms may adjust metabolic rates in response to thermal variability, highlighting metabolic plasticity as a key adaptive mechanism. Understanding the extent of metabolic plasticity of an organism is key to predicting its adaptation to climate

Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral species
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), were severely affected.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.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.

Jianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2016 作为一种新型弦支结构体系,弦支网架由上部刚性网架和下部柔性索通过支杆相连而成。通过预应力张拉可将拉索预应力引入弦支网架中,从而改善结构受力性能,因此预应力张拉施工至关重要。以天津北塘文体中心弦支网架为研究对象,使用ANSYS有限元软件,采用单元生死技术和多时间步连续分析方法对弦支网架预应力张拉施工过程进行模拟,确定了施工过程中各拉索的张拉控制值,并分析了在施工过程中拉索内力、结构位移和杆件应力的变化规律,为该工程预应力张拉施工提供了依据。可为其它弦支网架工程的预应力张拉施工模拟提供参考。

Jianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2018 选取几何法及撑杆控制面积法确定环索预应力比,选取支座径向位移相等准则及网壳顶点竖向位移相等准则确定环索预应力幅值,将它们进行交叉组合构成4个环索预应力设计方案。另外还选取刚性索法及改进刚性索法作为环索预应力设计方案。以2008年北京奥运会羽毛球馆屋盖弦支穹顶结构为背景建立了算例结构模型。以结构重量为目标函数,考虑构件的长细比约束、强度应力约束、稳定应力约束和结构位移约束,考虑12个设计荷载工况。基于上述6个环索预应力设计方案,采用ANSYS编程语言分别编制结构优化设计程序,以确定最优的环索预应力设计方案。

疲劳荷载特性对8.8级M24高强度螺栓疲劳裂纹扩展机理影响探析
Jianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2023 为研究常幅疲劳荷载特性对高强度螺栓疲劳裂纹扩展的影响，针对钢结构端板连接用8.8级M24高强度螺栓在不同应力比/应力幅作用下常幅疲劳试验所得到的24个试件断口形貌进行定量分析，并采用ABAQUS软件数值模拟高强度螺栓应力集中情况，探讨含初始裂纹高强度螺栓裂纹尖端应力强度因子与荷载特性、预制裂纹形状之间的关系。结果表明：在轴向受拉疲劳荷载作用下，螺母与螺栓啮合第1圈螺纹处为疲劳断裂最不利位置；试件断口稳定扩展区面积与应力比/应力幅呈负相关，快速扩展区面积与应力比/应力幅呈正相关 ...

Issue Attention in Public Opinion Polls: Pollsters as Agenda Responders and Agenda Setters
Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polling organizations, like other policy actors, must prioritize certain issues. We argue that, for normative and financial reasons, pollsters prioritize issues that are viewed as important by other institutions and the public, leading them to focus survey questions on issues that are on congressional and media agendas, and which are public ...

Jianzhu Gangjiegou Jinzhan, 2016 针对预应力钢柱基底含摩擦型消能装置的耐震性能进行研究,探讨初始钢绞线预应力与消能装置的影响。通过钢绞线施拉预应力接合钢柱与基础,用来提供钢柱自复位能力;消能装置采用摩擦型消能,提供柱构件与基础接合的滞回消能能力,因此柱构件在受震后拥有自复位与无残余变形特性。研究参数包含初始预应力大小、摩擦消能面积与摩擦型消能装置的位置。通过理论推导建立预应力与消能装置在钢柱与基础接合的性能模式,进而设计试件进行试验来验证其性能。试验结果表明,柱与基础接合面有开启与闭合的现象;提高摩擦型消能装置螺栓的预应力量 ...

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little
