The widely held assumption that any important scientific information would be available in English underlies the underuse of non-English-language science across disciplines. However, is expected to bring unique and valuable information, especially disciplines where evidence patchy, for emergent issues synthesising an urgent challenge.

Abstract Several hundred butterfly species show some form of migratory behaviour. Here we identify how the methodologies available for studying migration have changed over time, and document geographic taxonomic foci in study migration. We review publications on published six languages (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Japanese, Korean, Spanish), summarise butterflies has been studied, explore patterns knowledge base, outline key future research directions. Using English search...
Although several countries along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway have recently begun reporting population trends and identifying threats to migratory waterbirds, there remains rather sparse geographical coverage of systematic waterbird monitoring, impeding our understanding flyway-wide status populations. To fill this gap, we used data from a nationwide citizen science project, "Taiwan New Year Bird Count'' examine recent 31 species across Taiwan, within three its hotspot regions, between...
Multi-species indicators (MSIs) have been useful tools for reflecting the state of taxa and ecosystems at global, regional, national levels. However, most are from Europe North America, there few world's major tropical subtropical biodiversity hotspots, often in large part because insufficient data availability. We modelled population trajectories 107 regularly-occurring breeding bird species Taiwan (100 native seven introduced species) developed MSIs (i) forest, (ii) farmland, (iii) based...
Abstract Bird species survival and breeding depend on necessary abiotic biotic components of farmland habitat. A hybrid model based expert knowledge using Analytic Network Process (ANP) integrated with empirical data is a capable approach for conservation scientists to determine the habitat suitability bird species. Our study assessed suitable distribution in ranges habitats richness throughout Taiwan, focusing regularly occurring birds farmlands. We established framework analyzing potential...
Habitat degradation and fragmentation are serious threats to global biodiversity. Attributes of vegetation structure patch have been considered critical factors in sustaining species diversity, but their relative importance remains unclear. This study aimed at identifying key variables for bird richness examining importance. We surveyed mapped all individual birds a 50-ha forest-farm landscape mosaic over three breeding seasons recorded the 286 patches six land-use types. Native forests...
Agricultural expansion is a pervasive threat to biodiversity, and intensification of farming activities can reduce the diversity abundance farmland‐associated species. Tracking these changes monitor manage biodiversity impacts requires identification species – well‐established category in Europe North America, but little‐documented elsewhere. Here we develop an integrated approach using empirical data analysis expert opinion delineate bird Taiwan. We investigated relationship between land...
ABSTRACT Monitoring migratory species can be extremely challenging. For example, millions of shorebirds migrate from breeding grounds in northern China, Mongolia and Russia to East Asia Australasia each year, traversing more than 20 countries while on migration. Studies within individual nations have identified rapid declines many species, yet progress toward a fully unified scheme for continuous tracking population change at the scale entire Asian-Australasian Flyway has been slow. To...
Abstract The ecosystem services and functions of tidal flats have been overlooked for many decades, flat loss has identified as a serious threat to taxa in recent years, especially migratory waterbirds. Despite the understanding change on global scale, there are still lot unknowns small including Taiwan, which important stopover sites waterbirds along East Asian–Australasian Flyway. Therefore, we collated historic topographic maps, Landsat Archive images between 1920s 2020s determine...
Abstract Context Promoting heterogeneous agricultural landscapes could help to reduce the negative impacts of habitat conversion on biota. However, benefits landscape heterogeneity can vary among spatial scales and taxa. Objectives To design biodiversity-friendly landscapes, we use nationwide bird survey data land maps examine effects compositional heterogeneity, configurational amount at different species richness groups. Methods We (measured using edge density), (Shannon’s diversity index...
Accurate data describing the geographic distribution of specific species form basis for effective conservation management policies. However, most freely available distributional information is usually confined to either expert maps or purely theoretical constructed by using a variety modeling frameworks. These do not provide enough resolution applications accurately describe current status. In this study, we novel workflow designed integrate from various models and knowledge into single...
