CONSERVATION OF ANTARCTIC ANIMALS AND PLANTSdoi:CFR 2021 TITLE45 VOL4 CHAPTER VI PART 670
Biodiversity impacts of the 2019–2020 Australian megafires Data collected from more than 2,000 taxa provide an unparalleled opportunity to quantify how extreme wildfires affect biodiversity, revealing that the largest effects on plants and animals were in areas with frequent or recent past fires and...
The 16th United Nations Biodiversity summit attended by representatives of 196 countries has ended with almost no progress toward the stated goal to halt nature decline by 2030. The next biodiversity summit will be in 2026. By then, the economic and political pressures that blocked progress at thi...
It includes both the inquiry into individual animals and their constituent parts, even to the molecular level, and the inquiry into animal populations, entire faunas, and the relationships of animals to each other, to plants, and to the nonliving environment. Though this wide range of studies ...
Plants are vital to healthy cities, yet urban environments filter the plant traits we find. This study assesses the relative dominance of different seed dispersal modes among plants that establish in cities without human intent, finding that many disperse their own seeds and that seed dispersal by...
The interplay between different uses of woody plants remains underexplored, obscuring our understanding of how a plant’s value for one purpose might shield it from other, more harmful uses. This study examines the protection hypothesis by determining if
根据第二段关键句"Plants and animals have life events that seemingly occur like clockwork every year.Birds canmigrate,mammals may hibermate (冬眠),flowers bloom,and leaves change colors.The study of how the biological world times thesenatural events is called phenology.Scientists now understand that...
The same approach can be used to estimate recent extinction rates for various other groups of plants and animals. One set of such estimates for five major animal groups—the birds discussed above as well as mammals, reptiles, frogs and toads, and freshwater clams—are listed in the table. Th...
Spatial heterogeneity of extinction risk for flowering plants in China Estimating extinction risk in regions with high climatic and topographic heterogeneity is challenging. Here, the authors use occurrence data and a phylogeny of 27,185 flowering plants in China, finding that potential causes of extinc...
Assessment of the protection efficiencies of the four types of PCAs showed that endangered plants had higher surrogacy values than endangered animals but that the two were not substitutable; coupled endangered plants and animals as surrogates yielded a higher surrogacy value than endangered plants or ...
