Article Abstract
The Bar-headed Goose is the only true goose species or Anserinae to migrate solely within the Central Asian Flyway, and thus, it is an ideal species for observing the effects of both land use and climate change throughout the flyway. In this paper, we investigate the home range, movement pattern, and habitat selection of Bar-headed Geese () during the breeding season at Qinghai Lake, which is one of their largest breeding areas and a major migration staging area in the flyway. We identified several areas used by the geese during the breeding season along the shoreline of Qinghai Lake and found that most geese had more than one core use area and daily movements that provided insight into their breeding activity. We also observed the intensive use of specific wetlands and habitats near Qinghai Lake. These data provide interesting insights into the movement ecology of this important species and also provide critical information for managers seeking to understand and respond to conservation concerns threatening Bar-headed Geese, such as landscape and habitat changes.

Glacial lakes play a vital role as indicators of global climate change and regional environmental responses. Eukaryotic planktonic microorganisms, pivotal in driving biogeochemical cycling of nutrients within these ecosystems, are crucial for preserving stability and ecological function of glacial lake environments. Nevertheless, the spatial and temporal dynamics, along with the mechanisms responsible for sustaining eukaryotic planktonic microbial communities in glacial lakes, especially during the glacier retreat and lake formation, are still largely uncharted.

Organic small-molecule materials, leveraging their multisite nature, low molecular weight, sustainability, and element-rich composition, are promising candidates for electrochemical ion extraction applications. However, restricted structural stability, caused by ion-intercalation-induced volume expansion and resulting capacity decay, has hindered further application. Here, based on a structural stacking approach to form an integrated intermolecular force network and lithiophilic ion channels, phenazine (PNZ) is utilized to demonstrate the significant functional relevance of molecular stacking structures in enhancing organic small-molecule electrochemical stability.

Scandium(III) (Sc(III)) is the smallest among the trivalent ions in Group 3, which includes yttrium(III) and lanthanides (III) with a hydration number of 8 and 8-9, respectively. The hydration number of Sc(III) in aqueous solutions reported so far varies from six to ten and remains an open question. In general, applying pressure and temperature to aqueous solutions perturbs the water structure and ion solvation, providing insight into the nature of ion solvation.

Biomineralization is a biological process whereby organisms synthesize mineralized tissues, such as bones and fish scales. The scales of Gymnocypris przewalskii are highly specialized, present only in specific body regions, making this species an excellent model for studying scale development and biomineralization. Our previous work identified elevated expression levels of several matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family members at scale-embedded sites.
