Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

17.3K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

What is Conservation Biology?

18.3K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Barriers to Effective Communication I01:30

Barriers to Effective Communication I

8.6K
A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this...

Barriers to Effective Communication II

3.6K
The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Physiological Barriers01:25

Physiological Barriers

3.2K
Physiological barriers are semi-permeable cellular structures restricting drug diffusion into intracellular compartments and tissues. There are six types of physiological barriers: blood endothelial, cell membrane, blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood-placenta, and blood-testis barriers.
The blood endothelial barrier is the most porous of these. It allows all small ionized, un-ionized, and lipophilic molecules to pass through the endothelial lining into the interstitial space...

Area of Science:

  • Conservation Science
  • Bibliometrics
  • Ecology

Background:

  • Effective species and ecosystem conservation relies on comprehensive scientific evidence.
  • Non-English language research is a significant but underutilized resource in global conservation.
  • Citation patterns reveal disparities in the use of evidence across languages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the underutilization of non-English language evidence in conservation literature.
  • To identify factors influencing the citation of non-English research in English-language publications.
  • To assess the impact of English abstracts on the visibility of non-English research.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of citation patterns for conservation effectiveness studies.
  • Comparison of English-language articles with 15 non-English language articles.
  • Multivariate modeling incorporating lexical distance, abstract availability, study design, and species conservation status.

Main Results:

  • Non-English articles receive significantly fewer citations in English compared to English articles.
  • Hungarian, Polish, Korean, and Russian articles are particularly undercited.
  • Articles with English abstracts receive more English citations, irrespective of content complexity or species status.
  • Non-English articles show high citation rates within their respective language communities.

Conclusions:

  • Increasing the visibility of non-English research, especially from underutilized languages, is vital for global conservation.
  • Providing English abstracts can enhance the accessibility and readership of non-English scientific articles.
  • Recognizing the value of non-English evidence is crucial for a holistic understanding of conservation challenges.
