Trait‐Based Prediction of Extinction Risk and Conservation Strategy for Traditional Chinese Medicinal Plants in China 基于性状的中药植物灭绝风险预测与保护策略研究

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Our research allows us to understand the predictors of extinction risk in traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) plant species with known threat status, and incorporate this knowledge to predict other TCM plants with unknown conservation status in China so as to improve the overall effectiveness of conservation strategies.

Assessing the integration of social marketing principles in ivory demand management interventions in China and Southeast Asia

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.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Powerful representation of the poor? German welfare associations' narrative advocacy during COVID‐19

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sparked unprecedented experimentation in the German social assistance system, leading to changes previously considered impracticable by policymakers. This included a sanctions moratorium, easier access to benefits, and temporary cash transfers, all of which were advocated by welfare associations—key organized interests ...

Emotion and the Advocacy Coalition Framework: An Affective Dynamics Perspective

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive evidence that emotion and cognition are deeply intertwined, the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) lacks an analytically independent emotional mechanism in its causal architecture—an omission that may be particularly consequential in policy subsystems structured around morally charged, identity‐laden policy disputes.

Electronegativity‐Driven Frontier Orbital Engineering in B‐Ti Diatomic Synergy Enables Selective Li2C2O4 Conversion in Li‐CO2 Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT As a promising alternative to sluggish Li2CO3‐based Li‐CO2 electrochemistry, Li2C2O4 offers a favorable 2e− discharge pathway, yet its selective formation and reversible decomposition remain debated. Herein, we propose a nonmetal‐metal synergistic catalyst—B‐Ti coregulated layered transition metal boride Ti18B18O9/graphene (B‐Ti/TiBOG)—to ...

Rational Design of Multifunctional Nano–Architected Coatings for Bipolar Plates in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) require advanced bipolar plate coatings to enhance efficiency, durability, and commercialization potential. This review presents a systematic framework for evaluating and designing bipolar plate coatings, integrating material selection, performance metrics, deposition techniques, and future ...
