Differences in Habitat Quality Drive Behavioral Contrasts in Two Family Groups of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Habitat quality variation drove distinct behavioral strategies: GC (resource‐rich group) behaviors were influenced by food availability, safety and stability, while GE (resource‐scarce group) behaviors relied more on topography, food, and nutrients. Seasonal behavioral flexibility was demonstrated, with food variables dominating in the dry season and ...

Passive acoustic monitoring for the estimation of density of the singing lemur (Indri indri)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) was applied to estimate the density of indri (Indri indri) in the Maromizaha tropical forest by adapting a density‐estimation framework originally developed for marine environments. Using a network of autonomous recorders and GLMMs incorporating directional and environmental covariates, we estimated detection ...

An Updated Checklist of Terrestrial Mammals of Hainan Island, China

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 180-189, September 2026.
Building upon the foundational work Birds and Mammals of Hainan Island (1983), and synthesizing verified species records accumulated over the past four decades under a modern taxonomic framework, we present an updated checklist documenting 95 species of terrestrial mammals on Hainan Island.

Preliminary study on premature infant death of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus): implications for conservation

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is China’s only endemic gibbon species and among the world’s rarest primate species. Documenting infant mortality and investigating their underlying causes are essential for informing evidence-based conservation ...

ESO: An evolutionary algorithm for efficient model reduction via automated frequency band selection in passive acoustic monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 9, Page 2645-2662, September 2026.
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an important tool for wildlife monitoring. Deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has become the standard approach for developing bioacoustic classifiers. However, real‐time classification remains challenging due to the high computational complexity of these models and the need ...

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

Transcription and phosphorylation of CATALASE2 contribute to cold stress tolerance in Hevea brasiliensis

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 4, August 2026.
Significance Statement Despite the rubber tree's economic importance and sensitivity to cold stress, the molecular mechanisms governing its cold tolerance remain largely unknown. This study reveals a dual regulatory module in which HbCBF1 mediated HbCAT2 transcription and HbSnRK2.6A‐mediated HbCAT2 phosphorylation synergistically enhance cold tolerance

Multi-Gene Phylogeny and Taxonomy of Hypoxylon (Hypoxylaceae, Ascomycota) from China

Diversity, 2022
The Hypoxylon species play an important ecological role in tropical rainforest as wood-decomposers, and some might have benefical effects on their hosts as endophytes.
