Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, the third most specious order mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine umbrella effects on ecosystem services and protection other vertebrates seed plants in Yunnan Province, China. identified areas conservation priority for 16 primate species determined endemic terrestrial would be protected through a program targeting conservation. Areas high richness were spatially correlated distribution 601 4010 plants. Primate...
The Sanjiangyuan region of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot alpine mammals but barren area in terms amphibians and reptiles. Here, we describe new pit viper species, Gloydius rubromaculatus sp. n. Shi, Li Liu, 2017 that was discovered this region, with brief taxonomic revision the genus . species can be distinguished from other congeneric by following characteristics: cardinal crossbands on back, indistinct canthus rostralis, glossy dorsal scales, colubrid-like...
Ecotourism is considered to be an effective means of promoting nature conservation and sustainable development in less developed regions. However, its widespread adoption may the result a misunderstanding due confusion about definitions interpretations. Using web map browsers, we assessed distribution pattern ecotourism sites both number density 31 provinces mainland China, found that it positively correlated with gross domestic products (GDP) population size, showing spatial dynamics...
Abstract Background Understanding the patterns of species richness across elevational gradients is a key concept for contemporary research in ecology and evolution, critical to understanding large-scale trends biodiversity, global change conservation. However, between taxonomic groups, regions latitudes are inconsistent, so that various, sometimes conflicting hypotheses exist. Several scholars have pointed out on distribution often biased by sampling design employed. To test this hypothesis,...
Two-patch models are used to mimic the unidirectional movement of organisms in continuous, advective environments. We assume that species can move between two patches, with patch 1 as upper stream and 2 downstream patch. Species disperse patches same rate, is transported by drift, but not vice versa. also no-flux boundary conditions at upstream zero Dirichlet downstream. The criteria for persistence a single established. For competing model, we show there an intermediate dispersal rate which...
The mitochondrial genome may include crucial data for understanding phylogenetic and molecular evolution. We sequenced the complete mitogenome of Haemaphysalis nepalensis yeni first time. H. yeni's mitogenomes were 14,720 14,895 bp in size, respectively, both contained two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer (tRNA) 13 protein-coding genes (PCG). have one control region (D-loop). adenine + thymine concentration genomes was 77.75 78.41%, respectively. codon use pattern amino acid content...
The spatial sampling designs used in wildlife survey are often carried out two-dimensional, equal-area grids. However, the effects of complex three-dimensional structure environment on species distribution can be ignored when it is applied to mountain ecosystems and lead misleading conclusion. This study explored Camera trap (CT) a system based watershed. We compared capture rate (CR), richness relative abundance index (RAI) dominant obtained from three designs: watershed, 1 × km2 grids,...
During extreme space weather events, transient geomagnetic disturbances initiated by solar eruptive activities can induce geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), which have severe impacts on power grid systems and oil/gas pipelines. Observations indicate that GICs in grids are characterized large fluctuation amplitudes, broad frequency ranges, significant randomness. Their behavior is influenced several factors, including the sources of disturbance, Earth's electrical conductivity...
Color reflective materials have been widely employed in agriculture, airports, and road traffic as signals to prevent the damage caused by mammals birds. The negative impacts of such applications on wildlife acknowledged, but little is known about particular effects different colors applied these materials. We recorded occurrence using 56 camera traps placed locations affected color sheeting (red, yellow, green, blue, white, mirror control without disturbance) a subtropical montane forest...
Ixodes acutitarsus is regarded as the largest tick around world. I. capable to transmit a wide range of animal and human pathogens. This research pioneered sequencing complete mitochondrial genome acutitarsus. With length 14,475 bp, encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNAs), 22 transfer (tRNAs), one replication-initiating region. The phylogenetic relationship was established using Maximum-likelihood method indicate that others genus fit into same branch, which...
The elevational range where montane species live is a key factor of spatial niche partitioning, because the limits such ranges are influenced by interspecies interaction, abiotic stress, and dispersal barriers. At regional scale, unimodal distributions single along elevation gradient have often been reported, while discontinuous patterns, as bimodal distributions, potential ecological implications rarely discussed. Here, we used extensive camera trap records to reveal distribution Himalaya...
Light pollution has become one of the top issues in environmental pollution, especially concerning how secondary light such as from traffic reflective materials, influences animal distribution and behavior. In this study, 15 camera traps were set up at sites with or without warning markers (RWM) coniferous forests on Cangshan Mountain located Dali Prefecture, China. The results showed that number independent photographs species RWMs significantly higher than those RWMs. Significant...
Abstract Background Modelling species richness across an elevation gradient has long attracted attention, and at same time places some significant obstacles to research. Many interpretations of patterns corresponding mechanisms for distributions are made without consideration multiple confounding factors. What factors that affect with elevation? The answer may contribute better understanding the elevational distribution mechanisms.In this study, we performed research on nematode-trapping...
We propose an extrinsic Bayesian optimization (eBO) framework for general problems on manifolds. algorithms build a surrogate of the objective function by employing Gaussian processes and quantify uncertainty in that deriving acquisition function. This represents probability improvement based kernel process, which guides search process. The critical challenge designing manifolds lies difficulty constructing valid covariance kernels Our approach is to employ first embedding manifold onto some...
The invention of transformer-based models such as BERT, GPT, and RoBERTa has enabled researchers financial companies to finetune these powerful use them in different downstream tasks achieve state-of-the-art performance. Recently, a lightweight alternative (approximately 0.1% - 3% the original model parameters) fine-tuning, known prefix tuning been introduced. This method freezes parameters only updates performance comparable full fine-tuning. Prefix enables practitioners similar results...
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease that transmitted by variety of routes, including the ingestion raw or undercooked meat.It infects roughly one-third world's population and caused Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite.The goal this research to detect existence genotypes T. gondii in beef mutton, two most widely consumed red meats Gaza, Palestine, using both ELISA PCR techniques.For purpose, 60 meat samples were collected from butcheries Gaza city, during period January...
We propose extrinsic and intrinsic deep neural network architectures as general frameworks for learning on manifolds. Specifically, networks (eDNNs) preserve geometric features manifolds by utilizing an equivariant embedding from the manifold to its image in Euclidean space. Moreover, (iDNNs) incorporate underlying geometry of via exponential log maps with respect a Riemannian structure. Consequently, we prove that empirical risk minimizers (ERM) eDNNs iDNNs converge optimal rates. Overall,...

A novel logographic subword model is proposed to reinterpret logograms as abstract subwords for neural machine translation. Our approach drastically reduces the size of an artificial network, while maintaining comparable BLEU scores those attained with baseline RNN and CNN seq2seq models. The smaller also leads shorter training inference time. Experiments demonstrate that in tasks English-Chinese/Chinese-English translation, reduction aspects can be from $11\%$ high $77\%$. Compared previous...
