A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Bioacoustic classification of Hainan gibbon call types using deep learning [PDF]
In Bawangling National Nature Reserve (BNNR), Hainan, China, there exists a critically endangered primate known as the Hainan gibbon Nomascus hainanus. Many species, including the Hainan gibbon, are at high risk of extinction due to many factors such as ...

How many remnant gibbon populations are left on Hainan? Testing the use of local ecological knowledge to detect cryptic threatened primates [PDF]
For Critically Endangered “species of extreme rarity,” there is an urgent need to clarify the potential survival of remnant populations. Such populations can be difficult to detect using standard field methods. Local ecological knowledge (LEK) represents

Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are

Gibbon paintings in China, Japan, and Korea: Historical distribution, production rate and context [PDF]
Gibbons (the small apes of the family Hylobatidae) occupied in the past and still occupy today an important niche in Chinese – and for some time also in Japanese and Korean – cultures. Their importance can be assessed in the frequent depiction of gibbons

Abstract Unauthorized, proactive innovative behavior (i.e., bootlegging) is increasingly recognized as an important driver of innovation. Although existing research has predominantly focused on explaining the emergence of bootlegging through formal influences (e.g., leadership and organizational practices), less attention has been paid to the impact of

Unreasonable reclamation and construction activities have led to a decline in habitat quality and loss of biodiversity in tropical rainforest areas, especially in key biodiversity regions globally. In this study, the remote sensing data‐driven PLUS‐InVEST coupled model was used to evaluate and forecast the habitat quality and degree of degradation in ...

The current status of the Hainan black-crested gibbon Nomascus sp. cf. nasutus hainanus in Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Hainan, China [PDF]
The Hainan black-crested gibbon Nomascus sp. cf. nasutus hainanus is on the verge of extinction. Following studies in the late 1980s and early 1990s only limited observations were made of the remaining population in the Bawangling National Nature Reserve on Hainan Island, China, and the most optimistic estimation of the population size was 23 ...

Acoustic monitoring of solitary bee activity at nesting boxes
A solitary bee (Osmia cornuta) exiting the nest box. The spectrogram shows a typical pattern for a flight buzzing sound. Abstract Monitoring of pollinator activity is of high interest in both agriculture and biodiversity and conservation studies. Passive acoustic monitoring has become increasingly popular because of its rather simple deployment and ...
