Fluxes of organic matter across Earth habitats shape ecosystem function and carbon storage. Yet, it is challenging to predict how the molecules are preferentially accumulated in specific habitats, that is, the habitat affinities, due to their diverse characteristics. Here, we develop an indicator of compositional‐level habitat affinity for dissolved organic matter (DOM) by quantifying the aggregated affinities of individual mo...
Spatial variation in toll-like receptor diversity in koala populations across their geographic distributionNARA Subscribed
The koala ( Phascolarctos cinereus ) is an iconic Australian species that is listed as endangered in the northern parts of its range due to loss of habitat, disease, and road deaths. Diseases contribute significantly to the decline of koala populations, primarily Chlamydia and koala retrovirus. The distribution of these diseases across the species’ range, however, is not even. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in...
Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugiaNARA Subscribed
Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China. We identified areas of conservation priority for 16 primate species and determined which other threatened and endemic terrestrial vertebrates and see...
