It provides detailed materials of field research about folk life of stone bridge and village in North China. Here village life world not only includes the folk integration of their everyday life, but also covers local villagers cognitive attitude towards village, such as village history, legend, belief, ritual, clan and other everyday life styles. Expounding and reconstructing of village life world, shows the essential meanings and categories of bridge folklore, it also demonstrates the consequence of shifting connection between stone bridge and village life. Firstly, the crucial context of understanding village life world is still promising. Secondly, folklore fieldwork is an significant part to comprehend the connotation of village life world.展开更多

We collected attitudinal data from 171 local people and 59 governmental staff from a Nature Reserve in southwestern China. These attitudinal questions covered key topics of ecosystem services, protected areas and human-wildlife coexistence. Statistically signiifcant （p〈0.05） similarities of responses between local people and staff were identiifed and the nature of any disparity was investigated. The majority of attitudes relating to protected areas （60%） and coexistence （100%） were statisticaly similar between the two groups, unlike 25% of responses relating to ecosystem services. Few characteristics of staff were statisticaly associated with their attitudes, whereas responses from local people were frequently associated with sub-village. Such attitudinal studies inform recommendations that consider the potential for future conlficts that might persist folowing attitudinal disparity between two key stakeholders.展开更多

In this study, we examined the distribution of the Sardinian warbler Sylvia melanocephala along two grassland-to-forest gradients, one in a high-diversity area （Albera-Aspres chain in Catalonia： eight Sylvia warbler species） and one in a low-diversity area （Mount Hymittos in Greece： four species）. In Catalonia, distribution models suggested that the apparent exclusion of S. melanocephala from the open and forest ends of the gradient may be explained entirely by the preference of S. melanocephala for mid-successional shrublands. However, a joint analysis of both data sets revealed that： 1） S. melanocephala was more evenly dis- tributed along the vegetation gradient in Greece, suggesting ecological release in the low-diversity area; and 2） a distribution model assuming interspecific competition （based on the distribution of Sylvia species showing a negative co-occurrence pattern with S. melanocephala） had a significantly higher predictive ability than a distribution model based on habitat variables alone. Our study supports the view that species turnover along ecological gradients generally results from a combination of intrinsic preferences and interspecific competition [Current Zoology 57 （3）： 307-317, 2011].展开更多
