National parks play a crucial role in global biodiversity preservation, with China's Giant Panda Park (GPNP) serving as key stronghold for protecting unique flora and fauna endemic to diverse mountainous regions. This study focused on unraveling the dynamics of diversity within local giant panda populations their sympatric species Ya'an section GPNP. Five specific population patches (LPPs) were selected subjects, utilizing data from 4th Survey. Through identification, classification, analysis observed each LPP, α β patterns revealed, leading actionable recommendations. A comprehensive record 34 spanning 5 orders 16 families was documented. Notably, 8 under first-class Key Protected Wildlife List China, IUCN Red has identified 3 – Rhinopithecus roxellana, Moschus berezovskii, Ailurus styani endangered, showing its high conservation significance. While α-diversity assessment highlighted DaxianglingA2 (DXLA2) highest Shannon-Wiener Simpson's indices, QionglaishanA3 (QLSA3) exhibited greater richness. However, these differences lacked statistical significance (P > 0.05). The Jaccard similarity coefficient indicated stronger turnover process compared nestedness. dominance total β-diversity accentuated importance encompassing all five LPPs strategies. underscored imperative management focus enhancing habitat connectivity between disparate small prevent extinction by fostering exchange gene flow. pioneering research shed light spatial utilization drivers It provides valuable references appraise strategy effectiveness offers scientific backing optimize national protected areas.

Abstract To meet the COP15 biodiversity framework in European Union (EU), one target is to protect 30% of its land by 2030 through a resilient transnational conservation network. The Alps are key hub this network hosting some most extensive natural areas and hotspots Europe. Here we assess robustness current reserve safeguard Alps’ flora 2080 using semi-mechanistic simulations. We first highlight that needs strong readjustments as it does not capture patterns well our Overall, predict shift need time along latitudes, from lower higher elevations plants migrate upslope shrink their distribution. While increasing species, trait evolutionary diversity, migration could also threaten 70% resident flora. In face global changes, future will ensure elevation latitudinal connections complementarily multifaceted beyond national borders.

ABSTRACT Aim The functional diversity of bees contribute to the maintenance plant biodiversity because different species wild prefer and pollinate plants. Many bees, in particular with narrow flower preferences or specialised habitat requirements, are threatened by landscape homogenisation climate change. Nonetheless, we still lack an understanding large‐scale impacts anthropogenic stressors on distribution bee preferences. Location Northern Europe: Norway, Denmark Germany. Methods We combine a dataset comprising ~30,000 observations presences absences occurrences from structured surveys at 269 sites northern Europe investigate if modulate distributions across multiple environmental gradients. Bees were assigned continuous trait separating preference for short vs. tubular flowers. Results observe that either flowers (Fabaceae) plants shallow (including Apiaceae Brassicaceae) can be described score. likelihood observing along latitudinal gradient—encompassing variation temperature, atmospheric N deposition elevation—is dependent its Specifically, have higher occurrence latitudes, while non‐tubular increase towards south. Main Conclusions Our results improve our how species‐specific drives community‐wide shifts therefore help devise region‐specific conservation strategies.

Widespread declines in wild bee populations necessitate urgent action, but insufficient data exist to guide conservation efforts. Addressing this deficit, we investigated the relative performance of environmental and/or taxon-based indicators predict richness eastern and central U.S. Our methodology leveraged publicly available on bees (SCAN GBIF repositories), birds (eBird participatory science project) land cover (USDA Cropland Data Layer). We used a Bayesian variable selection algorithm select variables that best predicted species using two datasets: semi-structured dataset covering wide geographical temporal range structured focused extent with standardized protocol. demonstrate add value as across broad geographies, particularly when data. These improvements likely stem from demonstrated sensitivity conditions thought impact are missed by remotely sensed Importantly, enables estimation places don’t have direct observations bees. In case specifically, suggest bird data, combined, serve useful monitoring priorities until quality quantity improve.

Introduction To achieve effective conservation objectives, it is crucial to map biodiversity patterns and hotspots while considering multiple influencing factors. However, focusing solely on inadequate for species a landscape scale. This emphasizes the importance of integrating with home ranges identify priority areas. Methods Compiling vegetation data environmental anthropogenic disturbance collected from kilometer-grid plots in Bawangling Nature Reserve, Hainan, China, we analyzed spatial distribution plant diversity (species richness Shannon-Wiener index), as well main drivers affecting these patterns. We also investigated using threshold approach compared them flagship species, Hainan gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus ). Result Climate soil are predominant shaping pattern surpassing influence topographic Both indices exhibit generally similar exceptions surrounding areas Futouling Elongling. The identified by index showed higher overlap hotspots. recently established Group E 2019, located 8 km away original habitat, does not coincide Discussion Our findings indicate that within habitat relatively limited, emphasizing necessity giving precedence its conservation. Integrating critically endangered offers decision-makers valuable information establish rational networks context changing environments, reference restoration species.

Wild bees are key witnesses of landscape transformations.Despite a prolific literature on bee conservation, the impact urbanization their communities remains unclear, with highly context-dependent results.This limited understanding is aggravated by fact that few studies have formally examined diversity indices analyses.We addressed this gap analyzing more than 6,000 specimens across 91 sites, including protected areas, within anthropized landscape.We found increased abundance-based while simultaneously reducing richness threatened species, which only benefited from flower-rich grasslands.This discovery could clarify conflicting results previous studies, revealing decline species in urban areas may be overshadowed diverse abundant species.Moreover, we reveal existing network not able to mitigate decline, as most reserves were dominated unsuitable forested environments.

ABSTRACT Functional traits offer an informative framework for understanding ecosystem functioning and responses to global change. Trait data are abundant in the literature, yet many communities of practice lack standards trait measurement sharing, hindering reuse that could reveal large‐scale patterns functional evolutionary ecology. Here, we present a roadmap toward community trait‐based research on bees, including protocol effective sharing. We also review state bee research, highlighting common approaches knowledge gaps. These studies were overwhelmingly situated agroecosystems focused predominantly morphological behavioral traits, while phenological physiological infrequently measured. Studies investigating climate change effects uncommon. Along with our review, aggregated dataset compiled from focal studies, representing more than 1600 species globally serving as template standardized presentation. highlight obstacles harmonizing this data, especially ambiguity classes, methodology, sampling metadata. Our sharing leverages resolve these ambiguities ensure interoperability between datasets, promoting accessibility usability advance ecological research.
