Protected classes — also sometimes called protected characteristics — come from anti-discrimination law. We talk about them with respect to employment laws, but they also come into play in housing and education. The classes and characteristics protected byfederal lawinclude race, color, age (over ...
The ecological value of a forest relies on the collection of its native characteristics (2): how many autochthonous and mature trees it can host, how much photosynthesis it fuels, how many pollinisers it feeds, how much soil and water it creates and retains, and many more (3). Read the...
We analyzed the habitat characteristics (coastal marshy wetland, riverine wetlands, and lake wetlands)in all these areas. The results showed that: (1) population growth in Dafeng, Shishou, Dongting, Sanheyuan and Yangbotan all followed an S-curve (p < 0.001); while population growth ...

In addition to the models above, we explored publication bias in the datasets by producing funnel plots and conducting trim and fill-tests. If outliers were found, we tested their influence on the results. We also tested whether effect sizes were influenced by study characteristics: the type of...
During this step, several variable conditions, such as time, temperature and relative humidity, could change as a function of the final characteristics of the product. The flavor of dry-cured products, Coppa Piacentina PDO included, is based on a pool of different volatile and non-volatile ...
Although Taiwan is an important hotspot of avian endemism, efforts to use available distributional information for conservation analyses are so far incomplete. For the first time, we present a hotspot analysis of Taiwanese breeding birds with sufficient
(used in analysis II). We characterised each site according to six characteristics—calculated in a 1-km radius buffer around its coordinates—two binary and four continuous: protected (if coordinates fall within a protected area46; Supplementary Fig.6) versus non-protected; forest (if >60% of...
allowing a more nuanced understanding of their varied characteristics. We also separately applied an ordinary least squares (OLS) model to validate the relationship between the effectiveness of PAs and factors such as species richness, human footprint, and their distance to cities (see Supplementary ...
