Estimation of Crude Protein Content in Revegetated Alpine Grassland Using Hyperspectral Data

Remote Sensing
Remote sensing plays an important role in understanding the degradation and restoration processes of alpine grasslands. However, the extreme climatic conditions of the region pose difficulties in collecting field spectral data on which remote sensing is ...

Environmental Drivers of Geographic Isolation in Three Pika Species in Northeast Asia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Using bias‐corrected species distribution models, we found that geographic isolation among three northeastern Asian pika species (Ochotona coreana, Ochotona mantchurica, and Ochotona hyperborea) reflects both divergent environmental preferences and potential competitive interactions. O.

Gut Microbiota Analysis and Comparison in Forest Musk Deer (Moschus berezovskii) of Different Ages and Musk‐Secreting Periods

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Metagenomic sequencing was used to analyze fecal microbiota of captive male forest musk deer (FMD) from the Sichuan Institute of Musk Deer Breeding across ages and musk‐secreting periods. Gut microbiota was generally stable and dominated by Firmicutes, while age and musk secretion shaped microbial composition and function, with musk collection linked ...

Contrasting thermophilization among forests, grasslands and alpine summits

International audienceClimate warming is shifting biological communities, with warmth-demanding species being favoured at the expense of cold-adapted species in a process referred to as thermophilization1-4.

Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Seasonal and Regional Dietary Heterogeneity Is Associated With Gut Microbiota Differentiation in Przewalski's Gazelle (Procapra przewalskii)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Seasonal and regional dietary variation in Przewalski's gazelle was linked to coordinated changes in gut microbiota, functional pathways, and fecal metabolites. Winter diets featured Poaceae, Cyperaceae, and Iridaceae, whereas summer diets shifted toward forb families.

The PhenoChange network protocol for monitoring leaf phenology in tropical dry ecosystems using phenocameras

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical dry ecosystems (TDEs) cover half of the tropics and play a key role in global carbon dynamics. TDEs present distinct canopy and ground layers that often exhibit contrasting phenological patterns. On‐the‐ground observations of phenology by the human eye, though valuable, may suffer from limited temporal resolution and observer biases ...

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

Boreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Grasslands of western and northern Europe – between intensification and abandonment

, 2018
About 17% of the territory of Western and Northern Europe (including the western part of Central Europe) is covered by grasslands. Of these 1/5 are natural grasslands, mainly in arctic-alpine and coastal areas, while 4/5 are secondary grasslands created ...
