Article Synopsis
  • The Siberian roe deer, found in northeast China, is facing habitat changes due to human activities like deforestation and road construction, prompting ecological adaptations.
  • Researchers studied two different forest types in Muling Forest to analyze the dietary habits and gut microbiota of the deer using nutritional ecology and metagenomic methods.
  • Results indicate that the natural forest provided a richer diversity in gut microbes compared to the plantation forest, suggesting specific habitat types influence deer nutrition and the evolution of their gut microbiota in response to environmental changes.*

Many policies and studies globally have highlighted the pivotal role of wetland ecosystems regarding wetland biota and their ecological status. With the strengthening of wetland ecosystem management legislation and policy, wetland restoration should also consider increasing habitat diversity to improve biota. We explore whether the construction of artificial ecological islands can increase the diversity of and macroinvertebrates before assessing the effects of actively constructing islands via human intervention on wetland protection.

The in vitro toxicity of extracts of Hanjiang water disinfected by different sequential treatments was evaluated. Hanjiang water was disinfected using ozone, chloride dioxide or chlorine as the primary disinfectant followed by chlorine as the secondary disinfectant. HepG(2) cells were exposed to extracts corresponding to concentrations of 0.
