Exposure of wetlands important for nonbreeding waterbirds to sea‐level rise in the Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 6, December 2024.
Abstract Sea‐level rise (SLR) is expected to cause major changes to coastal wetlands, which are among the world's most vulnerable ecosystems and are critical for nonbreeding waterbirds. Because strategies for adaptation to SLR, such as nature‐based solutions and designation of protected areas, can locally reduce the negative effects of coastal flooding

Quantifying species biases among multidata sources on illegal wildlife trade and its implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract Unsustainable wildlife consumption and illegal wildlife trade (IWT) threaten biodiversity worldwide. Although publicly accessible data sets are increasingly used to generate insights into IWT, little is known about their potential bias. We compared three typical and temporally corresponding data sets (4204 court verdicts, 926 seizure news ...

Establishing a protected area network in Xinlong with other effective area‐based conservation measures

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are pivotal to biodiversity conservation, yet their efficacy is compromised by insufficient funding and management. So‐called other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) present a paradigm shift and address PA limitations.

A multitaxonomic assessment of Natura 2000 effectiveness across European biogeographic regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) protected area (PA) network is a crucial tool to limit biodiversity loss in Europe. Despite covering 18% of the European Union's (EU) land area, its effectiveness at conserving biodiversity across taxa and biogeographic regions remains uncertain.

Human–wildlife coexistence on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau: The correlation between Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and avian community composition

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 573-585, April 2024.
Abstract Tibetan Buddhist monasteries are widely distributed throughout the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and are significant locations for human–wildlife coexistence. Given the significance of their historical and contemporary social influence, it is crucial to ascertain whether there exists a non‐negligible correlation between these monasteries and their ...

Impact on species' online attention when named after celebrities

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Celebrities can generate substantial attention and influence public interest in species. Using a large‐scale examination of publicly available data, we assessed whether species across 6 taxonomic groups received more page views on Wikipedia when the species was named after a celebrity than when it was not.

Review of hyperdispersal in wildlife translocations

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Species translocation is a common tool to reverse biodiversity loss, but it has a high failure rate. One factor that contributes to failure is postrelease hyperdispersal, which we define as the long‐distance movement of individuals resulting in their failure to contribute to population establishment.

Importance of habitat heterogeneity in tidal flats to the conservation of migratory shorebirds

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Understanding species distribution patterns and what determines them is critical for effective conservation planning and management. In the case of shorebirds migrating along the East Asian‐Australasian Flyway (EAAF), the loss of stopover habitat in the Yellow Sea region is thought to be the primary reason for the precipitous population ...

Using social media records to inform conservation planning

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Citizen science plays a crucial role in helping monitor biodiversity and inform conservation. With the widespread use of smartphones, many people share biodiversity information on social media, but this information is still not widely used in conservation.

不同栖息地类型对东北大兴安岭红花尔基地区鸟类群落结构与组成的影响

野生动物学报, 2010
2001～2002年和2004～2005年分别于5～6月,在内蒙古红花尔基地区,应用样方调查法研究了环境因子与鸟类群落结构的关系,结果表明:（1）在草地生境中,鸟类多样性与草的高度和盖度相关性显著,鸟的密度与草的高度和盖度相关性不显著。（2）在樟子松森林生境中,叶层高度多样性指数（FHD）与鸟类多样性指数（BSD）呈正相关（r=0.814 ...
