ABSTRACT Preferences for animal species may influence public engagement in conservation efforts. However, urban residents often have limited opportunities to learn about and connect emotionally with a wide range of wildlife. Zoos can help bridge this gap, enclosures interpretive systems playing key role fostering understanding positive attitudes towards animals. At present, little is known how the characteristics work together visitors' learning Over 12‐month period, we assessed features...
Abstract Premise Dioecious trees are important components of many forest ecosystems. Outbreeding advantage and sexual dimorphism two major mechanisms that explain the persistence dioecious plants; however, they have rarely been studied in trees. Methods We investigated influence sex genetic distance between parental (GDPT) on growth functional traits multiple seedlings a tree, Diospyros morrisiana . Results found significant positive relationships GDPT seedling sizes tissue density. However,...
To measure intraspecific and interspecific interaction coefficients among tree species is the key to explore underlying mechanisms for coexistence biodiversity maintenance in forests. Through response surface experimental design, we established a long-term field experiment by planting 27,300 seedlings of four (Erythrophleum fordii, Pinus massoniana, Castanopsis fissa, carlesii) 504 plots different combinations (six pairwise species), abundance proportions (five two species, i.e. A: B = 1:0,...
Soil microbes have long been recognized to substantially affect the coexistence of pairwise plant species across terrestrial ecosystems. However, projecting their impacts on multispecies systems remains a pressing challenge. To address this challenge, we conducted greenhouse experiment with 540 seedlings five tree in subtropical forest China and evaluated microbial effects using structural method, which quantifies how structure interactions influences likelihood for multiple persist....
Abstract Premise Understanding the drivers of growth in long‐lived woody trees is key to predicting their responses and maintaining populations under global change. However, role tree sex differential investment reproduction are often not considered models individual growth, despite many gymnosperm angiosperm species having separate male female sexes. Thus, better should include life stage along with abiotic biotic neighborhoods. Methods We used a sex‐specific molecular marker determine 2188...
Most dioecious plants are trees. However, because of the difficulty in determining sex from vegetative morphology, previous investigations ratios trees were limited to flowering individuals, leading inadequate and potentially unreliable data on patterns underlying mechanisms driving their variation. Here, we applied sex-specific molecular markers investigate ratio a fully mapped population tree Diospyros morrisiana (Ebenaceae) subtropical forest. We also investigated sexual dimorphism...
