Temperature variations in simulated warming alter photosynthesis of two emergent plants in plateau wetlands, China

Ecosphere, 2019
Understanding the impact of temperature variations (i.e., maximum, minimum, and diurnal temperature ranges [DTRs]) on ecosystems is now recognized as being of paramount importance in global change ecology; the roles of different aspects of these ...

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 ...

Iron‐Mediated Release of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon From Waterlogged Peatland Under Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study conducts a five‐year in situ warming experiment in high‐altitude peatlands to examine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release. The study shows that warming promotes the release of plant‐derived modern DOC in drained peatlands, but amplifies aquatic export of century‐old DOC from waterlogged peatlands via Fe‐mediated DOC mobilization—a ...

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 ...

Design of Photocatalytic Composite Coatings for Formaldehyde Removal Based on the Visual Effects of Wood Furniture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work develops photocatalytic coatings for indoor formaldehyde removal on wood surfaces. It explores coating‐induced color variations and visual perception via eye‐tracking tests. Combined with XGBoost and Bayesian optimization, an intelligent design framework is established to guide the optimization of visually friendly wood photocatalytic ...
