Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

From Clueless to Confident: How ChatGPT Transforms Academic Writing in Chinese as a Second Language
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has demonstrated its potential to enhance the quality of second‐language (L2) academic writing. This study used a qualitative approach comprising analysis of ChatGPT usage‐history screenshots, written assignments, and semi‐structured interview data on students’ use of GenAI in their L2 Chinese ...
