Article Abstract
Using 730 winning entries in the 2023 "Kyushu Cup" National Study Tour Program Design Competition as examples, this article analyzes characteristics of geography study tour program development in China via GIS and SPSS software. The study results show that the development of geography study tour programs in China is unbalanced in terms of spatial distribution, course content, main body of design, and field trip scope. The following manifestations were observed: first, there are large spatial and administrative differences in the development of Chinese geography study tour programs; second, although geography is a comprehensive discipline that emphasizes the holistic nature of regional studies, the proportion of comprehensive regional study tours is relatively low; third, colleges and universities are the primary developers of geography study tour programs, followed by secondary schools; and finally, the development of Chinese geography study tour programs is dominated by local study tours, which are mainly based on vernacular geography. This study provides new insight into the spatial and administrative disparities in geography study tour programs, highlights the lack of comprehensive regional study tours, and offers practical recommendations for promoting a more balanced and interdisciplinary approach to geography education in China.

Amazon forest resistance to drought is increased by diversity in hydraulic traits.

The unique biodiversity and vast carbon stocks of the Amazon rainforests are essential to the Earth System but are threatened by future water balance changes. Empirical evidence suggests that species and trait diversity may mediate forest drought responses, yet little evidence exists for tropical forest responses. In this simulation study, we identify key axes of trait variation and quantify the extent to which functional trait diversity increases tropical forests' drought resistance.

Previous studies have demonstrated that metric learning approaches yield remarkable performance in the field of kinship verification. Nevertheless, a prevalent limitation of most existing methods lies in their over-reliance on learning exclusively from specified types of given kin data, which frequently results in information isolation. Although generative-based metric learning methods present potential solutions to this problem, they are hindered by substantial computational costs.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution in rice agroecosystems has become a pressing worldwide environmental challenge. Straw return leads to Cd re-entering the soil, yet the impact of straw removal (SR) on Cd mobility and bioavailability within this system remains unclear. We implemented a four-season field study to evaluate how different SR intensities (NSR: no rice straw was removed; HSR: half of the rice straw was removed; TSR: all the rice straw was removed) influence Cd availability in this system.

The collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates during the Eocene represents a major tectonic shift that significantly altered biotic dynamics and promoted species diversification across the Oriental region. To explain the diversification of taxa from the Indian subcontinent into Southeast Asia, two principal hypotheses have been proposed: the "Biotic-ferry" and "Step-stone" models. The subfamily Perittopinae, a lineage of semi-aquatic bugs comprising a single genus and 20 extant species, provides an ideal system for testing these hypotheses due to its disjunct distribution spanning the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

, the primary malaria vector in Ethiopia, exhibits diverse feeding behaviors influenced by geography, climate, and control strategies. Understanding its blood-feeding preference is crucial for devising effective interventions. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing evidence on human blood index (HBI) in Ethiopia.
