Repaid global climate changes in temperature and rainfall influence the species distribution and diversity patterns.Chinse skink is a common species with large population and widely distribution in China.To access pot...
Animals living around people may modify their antipredator behavior as a function of proximity to humans,and this response has profound implications for whether or not a population can coexist with humans.We asked whe...
