Summary: The warming climate may expose alpine species to novel environmental conditions, potentially challenging their adaptation. Using genomic approaches to study adaptive divergence in the white-tailed ptarmigan may provide insights into how species adapt to harsh environments.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of restricting access to hunting areas on duck hunter activity, harvest, and satisfaction. The results showed that restricted access led to fewer hunting days but increased chances of successful hunts and higher harvest numbers for successful hunting parties.

Summary: One of the most pressing dilemmas of our time is how to balance the demands of a growing human population with the need to conserve biodiversity. This study examines the relationship between land modification for human resource needs and declines in wildlife populations. The findings suggest that agriculture, as a major driver of land modification, could also play a role in conserving biodiversity by supporting critically endangered species that use farms. Understanding wildlife preferences in human-dominated areas is crucial for achieving this balance.

Summary: Research on the spatiotemporal change of habitat quality based on different geomorphic types provides scientific support for revealing the evolution law of regional ecological environment quality and ecological restoration. This study identified the change in habitat quality under different geomorphic types from 1995 to 2018 and explored the main influencing factors. The results showed significant improvement in habitat quality in 2018 compared to a decrease in 2015.

Summary: By analyzing survey data from Texas hunters, researchers identified different typologies of hunters and studied their preferences for chronic wasting disease management. Most hunters showed support for disease management, although their attitudes varied. Different typologies of hunters had different preferences for chronic wasting disease management policies.

Summary: Through studying hunting territories and hunter behavior in Baka Pygmy villages in Cameroon, it was found that hunters can obtain enough prey even in close proximity to the villages and exhibit clear bias towards certain habitats. These research results are important for local understanding of forest land uses and have implications for informing decisions concerning land use policy and planning in the region.

Summary: The study found that natal dispersal of juvenile Rock Ptarmigan in the French Alps and Pyrenees mainly occurred in two phases, autumn and spring, with female juveniles dispersing further than males in autumn but the difference decreasing in spring. The overall survival rate of juvenile birds over a ten-month period was 0.636, and long-distance dispersal tended to reduce survival during the first breeding attempt.

Summary: Hunting pressure changes the spatial ecology of elk, as they select areas of refuge such as private land to avoid hunters. Allocating hunting permits to private land can reduce the selection of refugia by elk. However, this may affect hunter access to other areas.

Summary: This study examines the effects of rail transit investment on different types of lands, using the development of Seoul Metro Line 9 (SML9) as a case study. The findings show that office and apartment lands receive the largest benefits from SML9 development, and the neighborhood effects are larger for lands with increased business and development opportunities. Additionally, the effects of rail transit investment generally increase with proximity to a rail station, and lower-priced residential and commercial lands receive fewer benefits compared to higher-priced lands.

Summary: Ecologists often believe that weak dispersers are more vulnerable to land use intensification, but our review of empirical evidence found that only 56% of tests supported this prediction. Strong dispersers may also be at risk. Factors such as location, taxonomic group, and land use type influence the vulnerability of species. Overall, weak dispersal should not be used as a general indicator of species risk.

Summary: This study estimated the global biophysical temperature effects of LULCC using CMIP6 climate models and found a historical global warming effect of LULCC at a rate of 0.0025 degrees C/century. Forested/non-forested secondary land, urban land, and cropland have contributed over 70% to LULCC's temperature effect, with land transitions and land management also playing significant roles in the climate impact.

Summary: In North America, legal hunting is considered important for wildlife management and conservation, but little is known about hunters' relationships with ecosystem health and integrity. This study examined the opinions of American hunters on hunting-related practices that harm biodiversity and ecosystem health. Factors such as hunter identity, personal norms, and awareness of the negative consequences were found to influence hunters' opposition to these practices. Outreach and education programs should leverage hunters' identities and raise awareness of the negative effects of certain hunting practices on biodiversity and ecosystem health to encourage them to become responsible stewards of the environment.

Summary: This paper examines the long-term travel behaviors of different age groups in the U.S. and investigates the impacts of local land use regulations and transit investment. The results show that land use regulations and public transit investment have positive effects on reducing driving and increasing carpooling, with younger workers being more responsive. Urban planners should focus on regional cooperative planning and targeted land use regulations to improve public transit.

Summary: Bats and their reproductive roost sites are protected by legislation in Europe. This study used citizen science and molecular methods to determine the key environmental features around roost sites for bat species inhabiting human settlements in Northern Finland. Results showed that the built environment, open areas, and water within a 200 m radius were important for roost site selection for the northern bat, while Brandt's myotis preferred undisturbed landscapes within a 5 km radius. The surrounding habitat of a roost plays a vital role for bat species and should be protected and considered in land-use planning.

Summary: Guangdong Province, being an important ecological barrier and pillar of economic development, has experienced unreasonable land use change that has greatly worsened habitat degradation and loss. This study quantifies the impact of land use change on habitat quality in Guangdong Province using the InVEST model and constructs a contribution index (CI). The results indicate that habitat quality exhibits a spatial pattern of low quality in plain areas and high quality in hilly and mountainous areas. Furthermore, the annual average habitat quality has been decreasing from 1980 to 2020, mainly due to the conversion of forest land to orchards, paddy field to urban land, and forest land to dry land. Preventing destruction of natural forests, increasing the diversity of plantation orchards, and controlling the growth rate of construction land are crucial in maintaining and improving habitat quality.

Summary: The study revealed a high predation pressure on black grouse nests, with stone martens, common ravens, and red foxes being the main potential nest predators. The overall predation rate of artificial nests in the study areas of Ore Mts. and Jeseniky Mts. was 56%, with significant differences in survival rate between the two areas. The main nest predator varied between the two areas, with common ravens being dominant in Ore Mts. and Eurasian jays in Jeseniky Mts.

Summary: While it is commonly believed that humans are detrimental to ecosystems, this study reveals that they also derive benefits from them. The review emphasizes the importance of estuarine ecosystem services, the negative impact of human activities on estuaries, and the significance of ecosystem services for human well-being. It highlights the need for further research on public perception and the benefits provided by estuaries.
