Mapping the “Supply–Demand–Flow” of Ecosystem Services for Ecosystem Management in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a “supply–demand–flow” framework clarifies how ecosystem services move between regions by distinguishing potential and actual supply and demand. Using integrated biophysical–socioeconomic modeling, nine services in China were mapped.

Mapping marine habitat suitability and uncertainty of Bayesian networks: a case study using Pacific benthic macrofauna

Ecosphere, 2017
Resource managers increasingly use habitat suitability map products to inform risk management and policy decisions. Modeling habitat suitability of data‐poor species over large areas requires careful attention to assumptions and limitations.

Effect of dam construction on spawning activity of Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the lower Yellow River

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The construction of water conservancy projects not only brings benefits such as flood control and disaster reduction but also has many effects on the habitat and reproduction of local aquatic organisms.

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Occupancy, habitat suitability and habitat preference of endangered indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) in Potohar Plateau and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
The Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata), the only member of order “Pholidota” occurring in Pakistan, is threatened by the rampant trade of the species, and has been listed as “Endangered” since 2014.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Analysis of desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) suitability in Yemen: an integrated evaluation based on MaxEnt and space–time cube approaches

International Journal of Digital Earth
Desert locust outbreaks pose severe threats to agricultural production and ecological environments. Hence, understanding the distribution of habitat suitability is crucial for establishing effective prevention and control measures.

Predicted changes in habitat suitability for human schistosomiasis intermediate host snails for modelled future climatic conditions in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Introduction: Climate change alters environmental and climatic conditions, leading to expansion or contraction and possible shifts in the geographical distribution of vectors that transmit diseases.
