Article Synopsis
- The Hengduan Mountains Region is a key area for studying species evolution and biodiversity due to its unique environmental changes and challenges.
- The study focused on a vulnerable amphibian species, analyzing how paleogeological events and climate changes influenced its genetic diversity and intraspecific differentiation.
- Findings revealed multiple refugia maintained the species during past climatic shifts, and recommendations for conservation strategies were developed based on identified genetic structures and dispersal patterns.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are using ecological niche models and phylogenetic methods to study how climate and morphology evolve together on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
- Their findings indicate that out of six evolutionary clades examined, three show significant niche expansion rather than niche unfilling, influenced by climate factors like temperature and precipitation.
- The study highlights that both phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary traits contribute to how species adapt to new environments, suggesting future research should focus on genetic structures and adaptations at a clade level rather than just at the species level.
The appropriate nitrogen (N) fertilizer regulator could increase N utilization of crops and reduce N losses in the North China Plain. We investigated the effects of reduced inorganic-N rate combined with an organic fertilizer on nitrous oxide (NO) emissions in winter wheat and summer maize rotation system. Simultaneously studied the effect of different treatments on N use efficiency (NUE), N balance and net income.
