Climatic–Anthropogenic Synergy Drives Escalating Minimum Area Requirements and Connectivity‐Protection Mismatch in a Karst‐Endemic Primate

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

The Climate Niche Pressure on the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau Predominates the Diversification of Advertisement Calls in Frogs (Leptobrachella)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The diversification of advertisement calls is largely driven by climatic niche differentiation. Our results provide acoustic evidence for studies on ecological speciation in anurans.

Gut Microbiota of Gray Snub‐Nosed Monkeys: Adaptation to Seasonal Variations Through Energy Compensation and Thermogenesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.

TreeSegAgent: Agentic tree instance segmentation via a multi‐anchor pipeline

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Individual‐tree segmentation from three‐dimensional forest point clouds underpins forest inventory, biomass estimation and ecosystem monitoring, but remains challenging in structurally complex stands, where vertical heterogeneity and point‐density degradation weaken the robustness of centre‐offset‐based instance grouping.

Study on the characteristics of Jurassic Buqu Formation carbonate paleokarst reserviors in the Qiangtang Basin

Carsologica Sinica
The Qiangtang Basin, situated in the northern part of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, is China's largest Meso-Cenozoic marine sedimentary basin. Jurassic dolomite of the Buqu Formation are regarded as the basin's most promising hydrocarbon-bearing interval ...

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

Boreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Dissolution process of carbonate rocks by different types of water in atmospheric environment and δ13C evolution of dissolved inorganic carbon

Carsologica Sinica
Carbonate dissolution is a geological process that occurs in the shallow surface environment of the Earth. Due to its geochemical characteristics—such as low temperature, openness, sensitivity, and biological participation—it leads to variability in the ...
