Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

An integrated land-sea framework for assessing coastal wetland ecological quality and the impact of Spartina alterniflora expansion: A case study from the eastern coast of China

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Coastal wetlands are vital in mitigating climate change through sequestering carbon, maintaining biodiversity and regulating flood storage capacity. Therefore, the ecological environmental quality (EEQ) assessment of coastal wetlands holds significant ...

Multi-spectral remote sensing image registration via spatial relationship analysis on sift keypoints

open access: yes, 2016
Multi-sensor image registration is a challenging task in remote sensing. Considering the fact that multi-sensor devices capture the images at different times, multi-spectral image registration is necessary for data fusion of the images.

Knowledge gaps and research directions in migration ecology for advancing the conservation of migratory songbirds

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...

The environmental dependence of ecological interaction networks

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interactions between species are often assumed to occur whenever species pairs co‐occur, allowing us to reconstruct local ecological networks from a deterministic ‘metaweb’. Over the past few years, an increasing number of papers have called for a reassessment of this simplistic assumption.

Ecological restoration in valley area of semiarid region damaged by shallow buried coal seam mining

open access: yesOpen Geosciences
Coal seams in valley areas are shallow buried, and mining activities have a strong impact on the surface environment, so ecological restoration in this condition is very difficult.
