| Abstract | Abstract Chelonians have survived for more than 200 million years. The distinct form of the chelonian shell stands as a testament to their enduring success, having survived millions of years of natural selection pressures. Unfortunately, traits and strategies that once ensured their survival—including their shell, strong environmental tolerance, long lifespan, and temperature‐dependent sex determination—are turning into disadvantages, particularly in the Anthropocene. This article outlines how this evolutionary success story is now on the brink of an extinction crisis. 摘要 龟类已在地球上生存了2亿多年,其外壳经受住了漫长的自然选择的考验。但不幸的是,特异的外壳、坚韧的环境忍耐力、长寿,以及倚赖于温度的性别决定,这些曾使得它们存活下来的性状和策略,在人类世却变成了它们的劣势。本文分析了这些演化优势反促使龟类易于灭绝的原因。【审校:卜荣平】 Practitioner points Conservation research should be adapted to changes in species. Conservation science requires special attention to particularly endangered taxa. Conservation researchers should focus on the actual needs of conservation, grasp the front‐line status of species protection, and provide timely policy recommendations to promote the improvement of conservation work. 实践者要点 保护研究须结合物种的演变。 保护科学须重点研究濒危类群。 保护科学家须着眼于保护的实际需求,掌握物种保护的最新状态,并及时提供政策建议,改进保护工作。 |
