Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia. We explored whether messages about the legal and health risks of using elephant skin for medicinal purposes (stomach illness) could reduce such consumption.

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Winter tapping of cold-tolerant rubber clone Yunyan 77-4: a viable strategy to reschedule the production season and capture potential market premiums in China

Frontiers in Plant Science
Natural rubber production in China is constrained by a relatively cold climate, a short tapping season, and concentrated rainfall, leading to lower yields than that in tropical nations.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Carbon Balance Considering Multi‐Dimensional Urbanization Across 366 Cities in China

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Low‐carbon sustainable development has become essential for China to achieve its carbon neutrality goals. However, most existing carbon balance (CB) studies overlook carbon quota allocation that reflects development needs during urbanization, leading to assessments of urban low‐carbon development that may lack scientific rigour and fairness ...
