complexity of the structure of biological populations, the length of food chains, the complexity of food webs, the transformation of energy, and the number of ways of material cycling, reflecting the type of community structure, level of organization, stage of development, stability and habitat ...
We intended on sampling every grid, but harsh terrain allowed us to sample only 90 (76% of the 118 grids in the study area). For convenience and to optimize animal detection, we placed one infrared camera in suitable habitat with animal signs (e.g. feces and footprints) or along trails...
Landscape genetics is increasingly being used in landscape planning for biodiversity conservation by assessing habitat connectivity and identifying landscape barriers, using intraspecific genetic data and quantification of landscape heterogeneity to statistically test the link between genetic variation and landscape...
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a threatened and iconic conservation species, and panda-habitat relationships have been the focal interest of ecological research on giant pandas (Wei et al., 2015). Previous studies have applied a variety of statistical methods (e.g., generalized linear...
Spatial patterns of vegetation coverage change in giant panda habitat based on MODIS time-series observations and local indicators of spatial associationdoi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107418Dengqiu LiDengsheng LuYan ZhaoGuangsheng Chen
In this paper, According to the regional ecological sensitivity, the relationship between ecosystem functions and services, Giant Panda Habitat in Baoxing County, one of key areas of Giant Panda Habitat in Qionglai Mountains, was divided into 4 types of main function regions: the optimized ...
Habitat fragmentationClimate change may disrupt the spatial matching of interacting species, thus compromise the persistence of species. Giant pandas form specialized trophic interactions with bamboo, and empirical evidence indicated that climate in panda distribution range has warmed during the past half-...
national, and landscape scales, but few studies have focused on the spatial overlap between mining activities and the protected areas of giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), which is a world-renowned vulnerable flagship species, whose habitat has been decreased and fragmented since the last century....
The high change clusters were primarily along the northern and southeastern borders of the giant panda habitat, while the low change clusters spread over the central and southern areas. Considering the spatial patterns of both vegetation coverage and its change, 12.7% of the study area, located ...
a non-linear artificial neural network achieved a classification accuracy of 80% despite the presence of co-occurring mid-story and understory vegetation.; Using information on the spatial distribution of bamboo in Wolong, we compared the results of giant panda habitat analyses with and without bambo...
