Tropical Pacific Zonal Temperature Gradient Intensified by the Tibetan Plateau Surface Darkening

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is experiencing substantial changes in land properties, particularly a decrease in albedo, known as “TP surface darkening.” These changes have profound impacts on global climate, but whether and how TP darkening influence Pacific climate variability is unknown.

Traditional knowledge promotes the protection of large old trees: A case from China's richest biocultural diversity area

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2700-2713, November 2025.
Abstract Large old trees are important ecological entities in human settlements, providing cultural values and ecological services that are threatened by current and future changes in global climate, land use and disturbance regimes. Some studies suggest incorporating social and cultural significance into the conservation of large old trees.

Day‐to‐Day Temperature Variability in Meteorological Observations and Reanalysis Data Over China

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Temperature variability on the synoptic scale is most directly related to human perception, and requires more attention from scientists and researchers. This study quantifies the day‐to‐day temperature variability (DTD) as the absolute value of the difference between the air temperatures from two consecutive days, and analyzes the ...

Linguistic Diversification and Rates of Change: Insights From a Diverse Sample of Sociolinguistic Studies

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 19, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Language diversification and change can be studied using phylogenetic modelling of families over thousands of years, or by close observation of changes unfolding over a few decades at the community level. While the phylogenetic approach uses data from hundreds of languages to make cross‐linguistic generalisations, community‐level studies of ...

Tibetan Few‐Shot Learning Model With Deep Contextualised Two‐Level Word Embeddings

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 1394-1410, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Few‐shot learning is the task of identifying new text categories from a limited set of training examples. The two key challenges in few‐shot learning are insufficient understanding of new samples and imperfect modelling. The uniqueness of low‐resource languages lies in their limited linguistic resources, which directly leads to the difficulty ...

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia

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.
