Butcher, Bonnie J. Holmes, Charlie Huveneers, Lauren Meyer, Laurent Vigliola, Craig D. H. Sherman, Adam D. Miller

“…Genetic studies play a central role in characterizing these connections, but typically require stratified sampling regimes to assess the spatial extent and strength of gene flow, and the relative influences of sex and ontogeny on patterns of connectivity. …”

Deterministic processes drive turnover-dominated beta diversity of breeding birds along the central Himalayan elevation gradient by Zhifeng Ding, Jianchao Liang, Le Yang, Cong Wei, Huijian Hu, Xingfeng Si

“…Mountains as the most natural experiment system provide good opportunities for exploring beta diversity patterns and the underlying ecological processes. Here, we simultaneously consider distance-decay models and multiple dimensions of beta diversity to examine spatial variations of bird communities, and to evaluate the relative importance of niche-based and neutral community assembly mechanisms along a 3600-m elevational gradient in the central Himalayas, China. …”

Quantification and Flow Simulation of Ecosystem Service Supply and Demand in the Yellow River Delta High-Efficiency Eco-Economic Zone by Wenjun Liu, Xiangyi Ma, Qian Sun, Wei Qi, Xinyang Yu

“…The results demonstrated that the following: (1) the supply of ESs generally increased, with a significant rise in demand for carbon sequestration service and a declining trend in habitat quality service demand. (2) A clear spatial mismatch existed between the supply and demand of ESs. (3) The impact of land use structure on the balance of ES supply and demand is complex. (4) Habitat quality and carbon sequestration services exhibited distinct spatial clustering patterns. (5) The flow patterns of habitat quality service were characterized by specific supply and demand areas, with corridors and pinch points indicating the flow paths and potential barriers; not all demand areas for carbon sequestration service can be satisfied due to variations in service levels and geographical distance. …”

Quantifying the Synergy Between Industrial Structure Optimization, Ecological Environment Management, and Socio-Economic Development by Zexi Xue, Zhouyun Chen, Qun Lin, Ansheng Huang

“…The results indicate the following: (1) ISO shows a significant upward trend, EEM slightly declines, and SED experiences minor fluctuations before accelerating. (2) ISO, EEM, and SED exhibited self-reinforcing effects. (3) The degree of coupling, coordination, and coupling coordination all exhibit a trend of “fluctuating and increasing initially, followed by steady growth”. The spatial patterns of the degree of coupling, coordination, and coupling coordination have shifted from “decentralized” to “centralized”, with clear signs of synergistic development. (4) The difference in the degree of coupling coordination along the north–south direction remained the primary factor contributing to inter-regional disparities. …”
