The following chapter presents the insights gathered from the reconstruction of the historical dimension of wildlife trends and species occurrence gathered from the secondary data (literature and document) analysis followed by the expert interviews and community questionnaires. Wildlife and human-wildlife conflict trends Table 1 presents population estimates of the elephant, blue wildebeest, plains zebra, lion and African […] More
Growth stages of development are the longest and most variable To test the prediction that growth periods represent the longest and most variable phases of offspring development, we conducted a fine-scale analysis of developmental rates in a taxonomically diverse set of species (n = 20) with existing information on the timing of key developmental stages (Supplementary Fig. 1 […] More

Regional settings The study area covers the entire Guizhou Province (N24°30′–29°13′, E103°1′–109°30′; Fig. 2). This area is 128,480 km2 and is characterized by numerous karst geological formations, accounting for 64% of Guizhou Province’s lithology, which contains a variety of different carbonated rock types. The remaining 36% of the lithology (mainly present in the southern, northern and southeastern […] More
