Multifaceted obscurity of Thismia abei (Thismiaceae): A fairy lantern with the protologue long disregarded in practice

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tiny, leafless fairy lanterns are easily overlooked on the forest floor. Thismia abei, endemic to Japan, persists in small, unstable populations and is listed nationally as Critically Endangered. Our recent work has revealed another, less obvious form of obscurity.

Antiferromagnetic Chains in a Monolayer of Molecular Qubits Assembled on Graphene

Small, EarlyView.
This work explores the deposition onto graphene of a dithiazole‐based molecular qubit, [Cu(dttt)2], (dttt− = 1,3,2‐dithiazole‐4‐thione‐5‐thiolate), under ultra‐high vacuum conditions. Analytical techniques, including STM, XPS, and X‐ray absorption, reveal the molecular arrangement and magnetic interactions, emphasizing the role of vdW interactions in ...

Forty years of captive breeding in Przewalski's horse: pedigree‐based insights into population growth, sex ratio, and inbreeding

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term captive breeding programs play a critical role in the conservation and reintroduction of endangered species, yet they face persistent challenges related to demographic structure and genetic management. The Przewalski's horse Equus przewalskii, once extinct in the wild, represents a global model for conservation breeding supported by pedigree ...

Beyond the enclosure: a decade of monitoring reveals altered traits in a European ground squirrel colony with implications for a recovery program

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Effective integrated conservation programs critically depend on high‐quality animals from ex situ breeding, specifically those that are genetically diverse and physically healthy, yet insufficient scientific rigor in husbandry protocols can lead to unintended, detrimental consequences that compromise reintroduction success.

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Identifying Causes of Reproductive Failure in Zoo‐Housed Bush Dogs (Speothos venaticus) to Improve Ex Situ Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We distributed a survey to global institutions housing bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) to collect data on factors which may affect litter survival. Information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and studbook records supplemented this dataset. We found that within northern temperate regions, the number of pups reared to the age of 1
