Challenges and Realities in Asian Elephant Research: A Global Bibliometric Analysis Highlighting Conservation Crises and Collaborative Opportunities
<p><span>The Asian elephant (<em>Elephas maximus</em>), also known as Asiatic elephant is facing a significant decline in its wild populations due to habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, leading to increased conflicts between humans and elephants. Preserving this iconic species is crucial, prompting researchers to explore various aspects of its biology, behavior, ecology, and conservation efforts. </span><span>In light of the profound importance of this subject</span><span>, this study utilizes a descriptive systematic literature review (SLR) to examine global research trends on Asian elephants. Analyzing a dataset of 1,780 articles spanning from 1914 to 2022, the study reveals a notable increase in publications, particularly since 2000, with 142 articles published in 2022 alone. This research provides a comprehensive overview of advancements in Asian elephant studies, promoting international collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers. While research from leading scientific countries can aid in conservation efforts, there is a call for more inclusive, participatory and fair approaches. The study demonstrates a commitment to Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity (EID) by adopting a multifaceted approach that considers the needs, perspectives and contributions of diverse stakeholders. By addressing disparities and advocating for social justice within elephant conservation, the study emphasizes the urgent need for collective action in conservation, welfare improvement, conflict resolution, ecosystem balance, and overall enhancement of understanding about Asian elephants. Serving as a valuable resource for policymakers, conservation organizations, and researchers, the study not only synthesizes existing literature but also identifies research gaps, highlights areas requiring immediate attention, and offers collaborative opportunities for global scientists to contribute to the well-being and preservation of this majestic species.</span></p>
Improving the application of Important Plant Areas to conserve threatened habitats: a case study of Uganda
<p><strong>This data set relates to the publication: Richards, S. L., Kalema, J., Ojelel, S., Williams, J., & Darbyshire, I. (2024). Improving the application of Important Plant Areas to conserve threatened habitats: A case study of Uganda. Conservation Science and Practice, e13246. https://doi.org/10.1111/csp2.13246<br></strong></p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>Important Plant Areas (IPAs) are a successful method of identifying priority areas for plant conservation. Assessment of IPAs, however, often relies on criteria related to species, while incorporation of habitats has been less consistent. Using Uganda as a case study, we test the application of the threatened habitat criterion – criterion C. We identified nationally threatened habitats using Red List of Ecosystems criteria and assess, for the first time, how differing application of thresholds under IPA criterion C can influence IPA network outcomes. Eleven threatened habitats were identified, with declines switching from predominantly forest to savanna after the mid-20<sup>th</sup> century. Significantly, we found current IPA guidance on use of criterion C needlessly limits the number of sites that qualify as IPAs. The “five best sites” IPA threshold is reserved for countries where quantitative data is unavailable, however, the application of the relevant numerical thresholds (site contains ≥10% of national resource or site is among the best quality examples required to collectively prioritisie up to 20% of the national resource) to quantitative data largely generated fewer than five IPAs, comparably limiting conservation opportunities identified. We recommend, therefore, that the “five best” threshold is available for application on both qualitative and quantitative data. This will bolster the value of IPAs in conserving and restoring threatened and ecologically important habitats under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.</p> <p><strong>Dataset:</strong></p> <p>Within this dataset is a shapefile of the estimated extent of threatened habitats in Uganda. Each polygon represents a single "site" for each threatened habitat, with methodology for site identification given in the manuscript. Feature area and percentage national resource are given for each site, enabling users to identify those that trigger the different IPA criterion C thresholds.</p> <p><strong>In this study, we have preliminarily identified the threatened habitats and IPAs for Uganda. However, it is important to seek the expertise and views of stakeholders, consider other IPA criteria met and any complementarity between sites when identifying IPAs. In addition, ground-truthing or more localised data could validate the threat status of a vegetation type as well as identifying which sites are best to conserve these habitats. </strong></p>

Dataset of 4D conserved tracers for convection simulated by large eddy model and cloud resolving model
<p>There are conserved tracers and active flag for convection used for diagnosis of bulk entrainment rate for four convection cases in this dataset. Total water and moist static energy are selected as tracer for shallow convection (BOMEX and RICO) and deep convection (GATE and KWAJEX), respectively. The two variables simulated by large eddy model for shallow convection and cloud resolving model for deep convection are four-dimension variables with horizontal scales, vertical altitude, and time. </p> <p>The size of domain simulated for BOMEX and RICO is 6.4 km with horizontal grid spacing of 100 m, and that GATE and KWAJEX is 256 km with horizontal grid spacing of 1 km. Besides, vertical layers in the simulation are 75 levels with spacing of 40m for BOMEX and 100 levels with spacing of 40m for RICO. For KWAJEX and GATE, the model was set up with 64 levels vertically, which gradually increases from 75 m at the surface to a spacing of 400 m through the troposphere and a larger spacing of 1 km in the Newtonian damping region. The model is integrated for 6 hours for BOMEX, 24 hours for RICO, 52.25 days for KWAJEX, and 20 days for GATE. Here, the range of time in these variables The four-dimension variables are saved every 3 seconds for shallow convection, and every 6 minutes for deep convection for two consecutive days.</p>
