ABSTRACT Aim Specialist species are characterised as with a narrow niche and, thus, vulnerable to environmental changes and disturbance. Understanding the distribution of specialists is important for developing proactive conservation strategies. Although China among countries highest diversity mammals, no previous studies have explored status in Chinese mammals. Location China. Time Period Present day. Taxa Studied terrestrial Methods We assessed three types specialisation mammals: diet...

Small mammals play important roles in many ecosystems, and understanding their response to disturbances such as cattle grazing is fundamental for developing sustainable land use strategies. However, how small respond remains controversial. A potential cause that most of previous studies adopt rather simple experimental designs based solely on the presence/absence grazing, are thus unable detect any complex relationships between diversity intensity. In this study, we conducted manipulated...

The complete mitogenome sequence of Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens) was determined using long PCR. genome 17,260 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA 22 transfer genes 1 control region. overall base composition the heavy strand is A (33.0%), C (23.2%), T (30.9%) G (12.9%). compositions present clearly A–T skew, which most obviously region genes. extended termination-associated domain, central conserved domain block are defined mitochondrial shrew....

The immunocompetence handicap hypothesis suggests that males with a higher testosterone level should be better at developing male secondary traits, but cost of suppressed immune performance. As result, we expect an increased also possess parasite load. However, previous empirical studies aimed to test this prediction have generated mixed results. Meanwhile, the effect on load in female hosts remains poorly known. In study, tested by manipulating Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus...

Accurate mapping of global urban and rural settlements is crucial for understanding their distinct expansion patterns ecological impacts. However, existing datasets focus mainly on ignore the delineation settlements. Therefore, this study proposed a framework delineating between based dynamic thresholds defined by area light brightness constructed first 100-meter resolution dataset (GURS) spanning from 2000 to 2020, integrating GHS-BUILT-S R2023A, NPP-VIIRS-like nighttime light,...

Abstract Aspects of time budgets, activity patterns and rut-related changes in behavior are well documented temperate ungulates; however, the application this understanding to tropical sub-tropical ungulate species has attracted less attention remains an area that may re-shape our knowledge behavior. Eld’s deer Cervus eldi hainanus a distribution on Hainan Island, China, males have extended rut exceeding five months during which they do not maintain harems or defend resources. We studied...

Dietary niche separation is often crucial for promoting coexistence of sympatric species sharing similar habitats. In this study, we used cafeteria experiments to explore feeding preferences two small herbivores in Hulunber meadow steppe, the narrow-headed vole (Microtus gregalis) and Daurian pika (Ochotona dauurica), microhistological analysis stomach contents measure their actual diets evaluate overlap. To effects scale, conducted dietary analyses at commonly documented taxonomic scales...

The Anthropocene era is characterized by the escalating impact of human activities on environment, as well increasingly complex interactions among various components Earth system. These factors greatly affect Earth's evolutionary trajectory. Despite notable strides in sustainable development practices worldwide, it remains unclear to what extent we have achieved sustainability. Consequently, there a pressing need enhance conceptual and methodological frameworks measure sustainability...
