Waterbird diversity and abundance in response to variations in climate in the Liaohe Estuary, China
Birds are sensitive to environmental change and thus good indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem health. Because birds fill a variety of functional roles, understanding their diversity patterns is important to inform and support conservation management.

Pseudonyms, Propaganda, and Prints: The Life and Political Caricatures of William Dent, 1782–931
Abstract ‘Dent was probably an amateur and nothing is known of his life’, state Bryant and Heneage. Despite contributing to caricature's ‘golden age’, William Dent remains overlooked compared to contemporaries like James Gillray. Dent's extensive portfolio (1782–93) and rumoured role as a Pittite propagandist have not secured his place in the canon of ...

Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective
We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Intestinal undifferentiated carcinoma in a red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis).
A 33-year-old red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) had a diffuse intestinal thickening from the duodenum to colon. Microscopically, neoplastic cells were arranged in sheets and occasionally nests or cords without gland or squamous differentiation. Metastatic tumor cells were found in the lungs, heart, kidneys and adrenal glands.

ABSTRACT Psychologists have long known that contact with and exposure to so‐called outgroup members can help overcome separation, including those resulting from entrenched conflicts. Getting to know each other facilitates understanding and fosters tolerance, whether we think of national, religious, cultural, socio‐economic or age divides. Thus, we here

Low‐copy nuclear genes were used to address the notoriously difficult phylogeny of Ephedra. Additionally, we explored the potential effect of putative paralogy, intra‐locus recombination, and chimeric sequences on phylogenetic estimation. ABSTRACT The evolutionary history of Ephedra L.

Status, threats and conservation needs for the continental population of the Red-crowned Crane [PDF]
The Red-crowned Crane (Grus japonensis) is a globally endangered species. Although this species has received much attention by scientists, conservationists and the general public, the continental population of the Red-crowned Crane continues to face serious threats which affect not only its population dynamics but also its breeding and wintering ...

This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...
