Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Abnormal Weather in the Himalayas [PDF]

Nature, 1893
ON May 26 I walked from ChanglaGali (about 9000 feet) to Dungar Gali (under 9000 feet) by the “pipe” road. On the way we passed (the road is cut along the side of the steep mountains) a narrow valley filled with snow to about a height of 100 feet. The width of the hard snow on the road was 20 feet.

Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the

Missing women in colonial India

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We construct novel data on female population shares by age, district, and religion in South Asia from 1881 to 1931. Sex ratios skew male in Northern India and are more balanced in Southern and Eastern India, including Burma. Male‐biased sex ratios emerge most visibly after age 10, and this is not specific to any one region, religion, or time ...

Spatial distribution patterns and formation of global spermatophytes

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Summary: The global Spermatophyte Spatial Evolutionary System defines 18 distribution types and six supertypes across three floristic elements, primarily formed between the Eocene and Miocene and shaped by climate, long‐distance dispersal, and tectonic movement, revealing that similar distribution patterns of spermatophytes were driven by comparable ...

The Distribution of Major and Trace Elements Across a Garnet Population From the Kalak Nappe Complex (Finnmark, Scandinavian Caledonides): Evidence for Size‐Dependent Growth and Compositional Equilibration in the Garnet Zone

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A garnet population from the lower Kalak Nappe Complex in Finnmark (Arctic Norway) was characterized using high‐resolution X‐ray micro‐computed tomography, electron probe micro‐analysis and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry mapping to assess the extent of compositional equilibration and the controlling crystallization

Differences in Milk Production Efficiency and Physiology Between Lactating Holstein Cows and Yaks Born and Kept at About 4000 m of Altitude When Fed the Same Diet

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yaks (Bos grunniens) have developed numerous mechanisms to cope with hypoxic environments. Still, as their milk yield is low, the use of production systems building on dairy breeds at high altitude might increase efficiency, but this has not yet been explored.

The dynamics of cave roost use by bats in the central Himalayas of Nepal: implications for conservation

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Cave use by bats in the central Himalayas shows elevational and seasonal patterning wherein species richness is higher in early spring compared to mid‐winter. The species that occupy these systems prefer a warmer microclimate as winter progresses to spring (i.e., from hibernation phase to reproduction phase).
