Nest‐Site Selection in Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica): Patterns Consistent With the Human Proximity Hypothesis Across Three Regions of China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Whether humans facilitate or impede avian reproduction remains a matter of debate. Barn swallows preferentially seek human protection by nesting in inhabited buildings, show a marked preference for older structures. Swallow outdoor nests are higher than indoor nests. ABSTRACT Nest‐site selection is critical to avian reproductive success. Although human

Analysis of the Drivers of Landscape Fragmentation in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park Using XGBoost-SHAP

Sustainability
Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park is a prime example of a “continental island” tropical rainforest and holds significant value for biodiversity conservation. However, human activities have led to frequent changes in land use and increased habitat fragmentation within the park; a precise analysis of the underlying mechanisms is necessary for ...

Comparative study of flora from central mountainous area to eastern coastal area of Hainan

Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023
The terrain of Hainan Island is high in the middle and surrounded by low terrain on all sides. From the central mountainous area to the eastern coastal plains, due to the difference of natural conditions and historical human interference, the composition

Value Assessment and Prediction of Regulating Ecosystem Services in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, China

Sustainability
Ecosystem services serve as a bridge between the ecological environment and human society. The quantitative analysis and forecasting of ecosystem services can provide references for regional eco-environmental assessments and land-use planning for the future. In this study, taking Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park (HTRNP) as an example, the value

Integrating Remote Sensing, IoT, and AI for Biodiversity Monitoring in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park

International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems
The rapid rise of ecotourism has intensified the challenge of balancing development with ecological protection, especially in tropical rainforests. Conventional monitoring is constrained by low efficiency, delayed updates, and limited coverage. This study, using Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park as a pilot, develops a collaborative “air-space ...

First Documentation of Two Rare Fern Species in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Yunnan, China

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 173-176, June 2026.
We report two rare ferns in Menglun Sub‐reserve in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, China. These represent the first documented distribution of the previous Laotian endemic fern species in Yunnan and China as well. Our observations confirmed the shared plant diversity in China‐Laos border and also represent the need for more ...

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 28, 18 May 2026.
Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.

The Larger the Egg, the Safer the Nest: A Study on the Negative Correlation Between Nest Predation Rates and Egg Size of Two Tropical Phasianids in Hainan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
There is a lack of research on the predation of tropical pheasant nests. The study conducted artificial nest experiments based on egg size and we have supported the viewpoint that using experimental eggs matched in size with those of natural eggs improves the accuracy of artificial nest simulation studies. ABSTRACT Nest predation is the principal cause

Effects of Geraniol on Survival, Reproduction, Endophytes, and Transcriptome of Tea Green Leafhoppers (Empoasca onukii)

Agronomy
Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) serve as powerful defense mechanisms that help plants mitigate pest-induced stress. Geraniol is a HIPV released by tea leaves in response to damage inflicted by tea green leafhoppers.

Seasonal home range utilization of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) in a secondary tropical forest of Hainan Island, South China

Global Ecology and Conservation
The home range utilization of primates reflects their behavioral and ecological strategies to adapt to their environment. However, little is known about the home range behavior of endemic gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) found in a secondary tropical forest ...
