Urban Green Spaces in Bamako and Sikasso, Mali: Land Use Changes and Perceptions
LandIncreasing land use and land cover change and climate change have considerable impacts on urban green spaces and their ecosystem services. These impacts result in a loss of urban green space and particularly weaken the climate resilience of urban ...

3D Chromatin Architecture Provides Insights Into Leaf Trait Variation Among Pear Species
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture plays a fundamental role in eukaryotic gene regulations, its functional significance in perennial fruit trees remains poorly characterized despite extensive applications in crop genomics. Here, we developed high‐resolution (∼5 kb) Hi‐C maps of Pyrus and compared 3D genomic architecture of three ...

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Ecophysiology and Uses of Halophytes in Diverse Habitats
, 2020 Climate change is decreasing global crop production and altering the balance of ecosystems worldwide, making it urgent to find alternative species that are not only resistant to drought and environmental salinity but also capable of developing in a great diversity of habitats in order to ease pressure on cropping systems and restore lands degraded by ...

Habitat selection and indirect interactions in fish ommunities [PDF]
, 2013 To increase the understanding of freshwater lake ecosystems, I have studied the habitat selection of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), roach (Rutilus rutilus (L.)), and vendace (Coregonus albula (L.)).

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.

Long seed dispersal distances by an inquisitive flightless rail (Gallirallus australis) are reduced by interaction with humans [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Human presence is becoming increasingly ubiquitous, but the influence this has on the seed dispersal services performed by frugivorous animals is largely unknown.

Habitat Use and Selection by Giant Pandas
PLOS ONE, 2016 Animals make choices about where to spend their time in complex and dynamic landscapes, choices that reveal information about their biology that in turn can be used to guide their conservation. Using GPS collars, we conducted a novel individual-based analysis of habitat use and selection by the elusive and endangered giant pandas (Ailuropoda ...
