View article: Effects of Managed Disturbances on Plant Community Structure and Nutritional Function in the Tropical Savanna Habitat of the Endangered Eld’s Deer (Rucervus eldii)
Effects of Managed Disturbances on Plant Community Structure and Nutritional Function in the Tropical Savanna Habitat of the Endangered Eld’s Deer (Rucervus eldii) Open
Managed disturbances and their consequences for plant community structure, productivity, and foliar nutrients in the habitat of the endangered Eld’s deer remain inadequately characterized. We assessed the effects of prescribed fire (PF), m…

Preliminary study on premature infant death of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus): implications for conservation Open
Hainan gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus ) is China’s only endemic gibbon species and among the world’s rarest primate species. Documenting infant mortality and investigating their underlying causes are essential for informing evidence-based cons…

Avoiding Cognitive Trap in Habitat Restoration: A Case Study of the World's Rarest Primate Open
The lack of knowledge regarding the basic ecological traits of an endangered species may lead to traps in habitat restoration efforts. Understanding the ranging ecology of endangered species is essential in avoiding these traps. The Hainan…

The virome investigation of the globally endangered Eld's deer (Rucervus eldii) on Hainan Island, China Open
More than 60% of emerging (re-emerging) infectious diseases worldwide are caused by animal-derived pathogens, of which 71% are of wild animal origin. It is important to obtain insight into the viral pathogens present in the wildlife reserv…

Seasonal home range utilization of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) in a secondary tropical forest of Hainan Island, South China Open
The home range utilization of primates reflects their behavioral and ecological strategies to adapt to their environment. However, little is known about the home range behavior of endemic gibbons (Nomascus hainanus) found in a secondary tr…

Soil microbes support Janzen’s mountain passes hypothesis: The role of local-scale climate variability along a tropical montane gradient Open
Tropical montane ecosystems are the centers of biodiversity, and Janzen proposed that mountain climate variability plays a key role in sustaining this biodiversity. We test this hypothesis for soil bacteria and fungi along a 265–1,400 m el…

Food plant diversity in different-altitude habitats of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus): Implications for conservation Open
Knowledge of habitats and food distribution patterns of Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is essential for developing an effective conservation management for the threatened species. Despite having been rediscovered nearly a decade ago, ve…
