Wildlife health risk analysis for conservation translocation: A scalable approach illustrated for wader population restoration

Conservation Science and Practice
Conservation translocations are human‐mediated movements of wildlife for conservation purposes. They risk compromising the health of wildlife, and potentially domestic animals and humans, in the short and long term, but these risks vary with project ...

Compartmentalized Homeostasis Drives High Bamboo Forest Productivity under Nutrient Imbalance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals how Moso bamboo achieves high productivity despite nutrient‐poor soils. It employs a unique strategy, maintaining strict nutrient balance in its leaves while using woody tissues as flexible storage reservoirs. This compartmentalized mechanism buffers the plant from soil phosphorus limitation and microbial competition, resolving the ...

Biophysical drivers of carbon dioxide and methane fluxes in a restored tidal freshwater wetland [PDF]

, 2017
Wetlands store large amounts of carbon (C) in biomass and soils, playing a crucial role in offsetting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; however, they also account for 30% of global yearly CH4 emissions.

Photocatalytic Asymmetric C‐C Coupling for CO2 Reduction on Cu‐Zn Bimetallic Catalysts with Dipole‐Limiting Effects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Asymmetric Cu–Zn dual sites on EDTA‐grafted Ti‐MOF amplify the dipole‐limiting domain field (DLDF), facilitating C–C coupling. This strategy yields an exceptional C2H4 production rate of 308.72 µmol g−1 h−1 with 98.4% electron selectivity in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, highlighting the potential of asymmetric site engineering and local field ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Conservation implications of habitat selection by nesting diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) investigated via an automated radio telemetry system

Animal Biotelemetry
Background Despite considerable research on nest site selection of diamondback terrapins and the risks that coastal roads pose to populations of this obligate estuarine turtle, there are gaps in our understanding of movements and habitat use by female ...
