Abstract Over the past few decades, social‐ecological transformations have contributed to restoration of numerous carnivores, presenting new challenges for human‐wildlife coexistence. Evaluating and understanding interaction dynamics, particularly conflict‐prone species, is crucial conservation management strategies. Our study focuses on Asiatic Black Bear ( Ursus thibetanus ) in Western Yunnan, China, a region with favourable bear conditions significant environmental changes due policies. This employed multifaceted approach gather data occurrences human‐bear conflicts. Utilising species distribution models, we predicted potential habitat 2000 2020.

Climate has critical roles in the origin, pathogenesis and transmission of infectious zoonotic diseases. However, large-scale epidemiologic trend specific response pattern diseases under future climate scenarios are poorly understood. Here, we projected distribution shifts risks main change China. First, shaped global habitat host animals for three representative (2, 6, 12 hosts dengue, hemorrhagic fever, plague, respectively) with 253,049 occurrence records using maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling. Meanwhile, predicted risk above 197,098 disease incidence from 2004 to 2017 China an integrated Maxent modeling approach. The comparative analysis showed that there exist highly coincident niche distributions between diseases, indicating is accurate effective predicting potential On this basis, further current 11 four concentration pathways (RCPs) (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, RCP8.5) 2050 2070 1,001,416 records. We found Central China, Southeast South concentrated regions high More specifically, had diverse shift patterns including increase, decrease, unstable. Further correlation indicated these were correlated warming precipitation increase. Our results revealed how respond a changing climate, thereby calling administration prevention strategies.

In China, the invasion of Spartina alterniflora is an important driver for decrease mangrove area and ecological service functions related to this habitat. past few decades, S. clearing restoration projects have mainly focused on areas where it already changed but ignored potential distribution areas. This study suggested that implementation protection prior with threat could greatly improve efficiency save costs. Thus, using Maximum Entropy Modeling (MaxEnt), we estimated spatial both mangroves in considering current data, topographical, sediments, sea surface temperature bioclimatic variables. What’s more, identified calculated distributed each province. We aimed explore (i) key factors determining along coastline (ii) hotspots their competitive occurrence, including degradation areas, order support conservation. The model showed distance topography play roles alterniflora, while were more sensitive range annual temperature. Our results furthermore confirm has a wider (~10,585 km2) than (~9124 at China; predict provinces Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Zhanjiang, Beihai Wenzhou as competition between alterniflora. propose priority should be given or plants those which are co-suitable these management measures conducted hinder invasions clear existing plants, firstly. provides guidance native species by preventing biological invasion.

Ongoing anthropogenic change is altering the planet at an unprecedented rate, threatening biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. Species are responding to abiotic pressures both individual population levels, with changes affecting trophic interactions through consumptive pathways. Collectively, these impacts alter goods services that natural ecosystems will provide society, as well persistence of all species. Here, we describe physiological behavioral responses species global on levels result in detectable diet across terrestrial marine ecosystems.
