Spatial-Temporal Variations and Influencing Factors of Water-related Ecosystem Services in Southwest China Under Complex Terrain by TANG Shuang, ZHU Chongjing, GAO Jie, BIAN Hongyan

“…[Results] (1) From 1992 to 2020, water yield in Southwest China showed a downward trend, with a notable mutation occurring in 2002; soil erosion showed an increasing trend, with a mutation observed in 1997. (2) The water yield decreased and soil erosion increased with rising altitude. (3) The relative contribution rate of precipitation to both water yield and soil erosion in karst areas was found to be greater than that in non-karst areas. …”

Niches and community stability of dominant herbaceous species in the forest and creek ecotone of Dehang Geopark by LONG Ziyu, WANG Zhicheng, ZHAO Rui, LIU Bing, CHEN Gongxi

“…This indicates that the interspecific competition among dominant species in the herbaceous communities of the forest and creek ecotone is weak, and there is not a high degree of similarity in the demand for environmental resources. (2) The overall and interspecific associations of the herbaceous plants in the three streams are mainly characterized by non-significant negative connections, with relatively low interspecific connectivity, and are mostly independently distributed. (3) The community is currently in an unstable state, and the succession and development of the herbaceous community are influenced by both internal and external factors of the community. …”

Olfaction-based learned preference assessment without the use of motivational fear or motivational weight loss by Sara E. Moss, Ekaterina S. McCurdy, Natalya N. Thomas, Danielle Gulick, Angela M. Poff, Dominic P. D'Agostino

“…Mice developed an appetitive olfactory preference for sucrose as a reward, in the absence of motivational weight loss, as measured by time spent exploring a three-chamber association box with access to both scents. We assessed whether this protocol discriminated learning deficit induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration.ConclusionWe conclude that this protocol is a viable tool for assessing learning abilities in preclinical models with auditory or visual deficits, motor impairments, or an inability to tolerate motivational weight loss.…”
