Conserving unprotected important sites for shorebirds on China's coasts
Ecosphere, 2022 The loss of natural wetland habitats along China's coasts has contributed to population declines in waterbirds, especially migratory shorebirds. Identifying important shorebird sites is important for habitat conservation and management.

Closing yield gaps: perils and possibilities for biodiversity conservation [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 Increasing agricultural productivity to ‘close yield gaps’ creates both perils and possibilities for biodiversity conservation. Yield increases often have negative impacts on species within farmland, but at the same time could potentially make it more feasible to minimize further cropland expansion into natural habitats. We combine global data on yield

Charge conservation protected topological phases
, 2013 We discuss the relation between particle number conservation and topological phases. In four spatial dimensions, we find that systems belonging to different topological phases in the presence of a U(1) charge conservation can be connected adiabatically ...
