Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

‘The Heart of the Matter’: Grandparent Childcare in Contemporary Chinese Families
Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Grandparent childcare is an international phenomenon, especially within families with children under 3 years old. China is no exception, as shown by a number of quantitative studies. Less clear is our understanding of the actual childcare arrangements involved and how these are negotiated and sustained through the intergenerational ...

Hobbyist preferences for pet freshwater turtles
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The burgeoning pet trade is a primary threat to wild freshwater turtles worldwide. Although the risks from commercial exploitation of turtles have been discussed widely, there is little empirical research on preferences for pet turtles from a hobbyists’ perspective.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of coastal ecosystem services using GIS and InVEST: a case study in the Longhai City [PDF]
, 2015 本文选取地处海西城市群的漳州龙海市为研究区,基于联合国千年评估提出的生态系统服务框架,借助gIS技术、In VEST模型和经济价值模型评估方法,评估龙海近30 A(1986~2010)生态系统服务价值时空动态变化。结果表明:从1986至2010年,龙海生态系统服务价值整体呈降低趋势,尤其在南溪河口区、卓岐镇海区、海门岛及漳州开发区更为明显;龙海研究区域内生态系统服务价值存在明显空间差异性,单位面积生态系统服务价值较高为卓岐镇海区、漳州开发区、隆教湾、海门岛,人类干扰强度最大的龙海市中心为最低 ...

When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

Effects of parachute science on local research capacity 降落伞科学对当地研究能力的影响
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Strengthening research capacity is essential to address the global biodiversity crisis. Yet, parachute science often undermines this goal, and its prevalence, costs, and benefits are unclear. We analyzed 13,502 publications on primate research that we extracted from Scopus (1960–2022) to evaluate the effects of parachute science on local ...

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.
