Forty years of captive breeding in Przewalski's horse: pedigree‐based insights into population growth, sex ratio, and inbreeding

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term captive breeding programs play a critical role in the conservation and reintroduction of endangered species, yet they face persistent challenges related to demographic structure and genetic management. The Przewalski's horse Equus przewalskii, once extinct in the wild, represents a global model for conservation breeding supported by pedigree ...

Root exudates mediate microorganisms to improve rhizosphere nutrient availability and crop productivity under straw mulching and slow‐release nitrogen fertilizer

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Root exudates play a key role as signals and nutrients in mediating plant–microbe communication. However, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding how root exudates mediate soil–microbe–plant interactions to regulate crop yield under long‐term straw mulching combined ...

The Influence of Freeze–Thaw Processes and the Organic Supplementation on the Structural Parameters of Luvisol

Agronomy
From an agronomic perspective, the most important property of soil aggregates is their stability. The stability of the soil structure can vary greatly, even over a short time.

Depth‐dependent mechanisms regulate accumulation of plant‐ and microbial‐derived residues under long‐term nitrogen addition in a semiarid grassland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant‐ and microbial‐derived residues constitute the primary sources of soil organic carbon (SOC) in grassland ecosystems. However, their differential responses to chronic nitrogen (N) enrichment and the depth‐dependent mechanisms governing their accumulation remain ...

Long‐term warming drives mineral‐associated organic carbon accumulation on the Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global warming affects both plant growth and soil microbial decomposition, creating uncertainty for the storage and persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. Limited decomposition rates often characterise cold alpine ecosystems.

Explainable spatial machine learning for hedonic real estate modeling

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurately modeling rents and prices is a key challenge in real estate analysis. Traditional linear models may fail to capture complex non‐linear relationships, and spatial dependencies are often ignored in existing machine‐learning approaches.

Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Prenatal Environmental Hypoxia Enhances Adult Hypoxia Tolerance in Brandt's Voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii): Behavioral and Transcriptomic Insights

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prenatal hypoxia enhances adult hypoxia tolerance in Brandt's voles, preserving cognitive and memory functions. Transcriptomic analysis reveals adaptive changes in energy metabolism, oxygen transport, and neuroprotective mechanisms, highlighting developmental plasticity.

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Impact of Banning a Rideshare E‐Scooter Programme on Emergency Department Presentations in Perth: A Natural Experiment

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background E‐scooters have become a popular, low‐cost mode of urban transport worldwide, with rideshare programmes increasing public access. However, safety concerns are growing, with many studies describing injury patterns and healthcare burden. This study evaluated the impact of the suspension of rideshare e‐scooters on emergency department (
