Life‐Cycle Plasticity Underlying the Survival of Glandirana rugosa Tadpoles in Intensively Managed Rice Fields Modern drainage systems cause rice fields to dry out completely during the fallow season, posing mortality risks for amphibian larvae. This study examined whether the developmental plasticity of Glan...

Response diversity is a measure of species respond differently to environmental conditions because of their environmental preferences (niches). Response diversity has been proposed to drive ecological stability in different ways. Here we mapped how these concepts relate.

AI and machine learning are becoming important in ecology, especially in China and the USA.

Asia targets solving environmental problems with AI applications, while the West develops analytical frameworks.
