Forest fragmentation and edge effects are two major threats to primate populations. Primates inhabiting fragmented landscapes must survive in a more degraded environment, often with lower food availability compared continuous forests. Such conditions can have deleterious on animal physiological health, yet some primates thrive these habitats. Here, we assessed how forest associated impact three different components of health nocturnal community the Sahamalaza-Iles Radama National Park, northwest Madagascar. Over periods, 6 March 2019-30 October 2019 10 January 2022-17 May 2022, collected data body condition, fur condition scores ectoparasite prevalence for 125

The Da-Xiao Liangshan Mountains serve as a crucial ecological barrier in the upper reaches of Yangtze River China. This study uses high-precision land use and cover data from 1980 to 2020, applying kernel density analysis, topographic gradient classification, PLUS model, landscape pattern indices, standard deviational ellipse theory analyze spatio-temporal changes, differentiation, fragmentation, driving factors forest area. results reveal following: (1) From was one dominant types area, covering more than 57.65% total area initially decreased then increased, with net gain 120.41 km2 over 40-year period. (2) spatial distribution exhibited sparse central eastern regions dense southeastern, northeastern, western regions. During period, degree fragmentation intensified, centroid shifted 0.84 km northeast between 2020. (3) Forest demonstrated significant vertical zonation, being highly concentrated on sunny slopes at altitudes 1,622 m 3,976 m, ranging 8.77° 44.16° relief surface 199 969 m. generally across different gradients opposite trend observed 2000 (4) Changes were strongly influenced by both natural (such altitude, NDVI, annual precipitation) economic per capita GDP, distance railways, population density), elevation primary factor, contributing 0.11. indicates that exhibits differentiation. Tailored conservation strategies should be implemented promote sustainable development resources.
