Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.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.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 188-204, June 2025.We assessed the distribution of 14 threatened agamid lizard species using Species Distribution Modeling to identify hotspots for these species' conservation. Based on the results, high‐priority areas of threatened agamids were projected to occur specially in the wet zone.

Long‐Distance Corridors Facilitate Asian Elephant Adaptation to Climate Change 长距离廊道有助于亚洲象适应气候变化
Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 57-70, March 2025.Climate change presents significant challenges for Asian elephants, forcing them to either remain in degraded habitats or seek new ones. But, remaining would lead to resource shortages, while moving is hindered by movement barriers. This study integrates species distribution models (MaxEnt) and the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model to construct

野生动物学报, 2017 鸻鹬类涉禽是目前比较珍稀的一类迁徙鸟类。预测迁徙鸟类的栖息地适宜性与其他物种不完全相同,人类影响、土地类型等因素在其中起到主导作用。本文利用Maxent模型,结合2006～2013年东洞庭湖区鸟类调查数据和环境影响因子,对东洞庭湖区3种优势种鸻鹬类涉禽的栖息地适宜性进行分析。结果表明:环境因子的选择在栖息地适宜性模型建立过程中至关重要,对于东洞庭湖的候鸟来说,土地利用是影响其栖息地质量的重要环境因子; 模型的评价效果优秀; 2006～2009年东洞庭湖区适宜性区域约占总面积的25%,2010 ...
