Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

Risk reduction, rangeland use, and the future of human–carnivore coexistence
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Efforts to reduce livestock losses to large carnivores are widely regarded as essential for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Predator‐proof enclosures, compensation programs, improved livestock guarding, and real‐time predator alert systems can reduce depredation and retaliatory killing while enhancing pastoralist livelihoods.

Deformation and failure in pre-stressed structure under laser irradiation
, 2014 很多材料/结构由于加工制造和服役承载往往会蕴含残余应力或预应力。这种包含预应力的材料/结构在进一步受到热载荷作用时，由于材料热软化效应和热膨胀效应，会形成复杂的后续变形和破坏行为。特别是当热载荷高度局部化时，如激光束加热等，这种变形和破坏的复杂性会进一步加剧。针对预应力结构的局部热载荷响应，本文研究了典型单层/多层预应力平板结构的激光辐照变形和破坏行为，主要内容包括： 1）推导了等轴预拉伸薄膜结构的激光辐照热弹性变形的理论解，讨论了由预应力重新分布而引起的变形重分布特征 ...

Integrating biodiversity protection into emergency management
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Megafires have emerged as a considerable threat to biodiversity conservation worldwide. The biodiversity‐focused response and recovery actions that occurred during Australia's 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires demonstrate that it is possible to protect biodiversity alongside human life and property during disasters.

Effects of climate change on marine biodiversity on the western Atlantic coast
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The current climate crisis, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, threatens global biodiversity, including that in marine ecosystems. However, projections for the western Atlantic Ocean that jointly quantify species richness and endemism while accounting for spatially biased and incomplete occurrence data remain limited.

AI foundation models in plant biology
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Foundation models decode genomes, engineer proteins, phenotype crops, and drive AI agents across plant biology. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/xcmmkel). Summary Rapid technological progress has enabled plant biologists to accumulate unprecedented volumes of multi‐scale, multi‐modal data, yet this abundance of data has intensified ...
