Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Emotion and the Advocacy Coalition Framework: An Affective Dynamics Perspective

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive evidence that emotion and cognition are deeply intertwined, the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) lacks an analytically independent emotional mechanism in its causal architecture—an omission that may be particularly consequential in policy subsystems structured around morally charged, identity‐laden policy disputes.

Redox Reaction and Dissolution Analysis for Hollow C Nanospheres Comprising N‐Doped C Framework With Abundant Ni–Co Heteronuclear Catalysts for Highly Durable K‒Te Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Tellurium (Te), emerging as a promising alternative to sulfur (S) and selenium (Se), offers significant advantages for potassium (K) ion storage due to its comparable theoretical volumetric capacity (2619 mAh cm−3) and higher electronic conductivity (∼102 S m−1), which promotes rapid charge transfer and improves reaction kinetics.

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 636-654, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

A Micro‐Nano Flower‐Like Na3V2(PO4)3@C Constructed by Polar‐Driven H‐Bond Engineering Toward High‐Rate Sodium Storage

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The polyanionic compound Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) has emerged as a competitive cathode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), owing to its high‐voltage redox activity (3.4 V vs. the Na+/Na reference couple) and NASICON‐type framework that enables superior ionic conductivity.

Carbon‐Insertion‐Engineered WS2 Hierarchical Heterostructure Enabling Superior Sodium‐Ion Storage

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Tungsten disulfide (WS2) is considered a promising anode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). However, its practical application is hindered by poor electrical conductivity, large volume changes during cycling, and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics, which lead to unsatisfactory electrochemical performance.

Metadiscourse and Teacher Moves for Supporting Student Reasoning in Linguistics Classroom Interactions

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 522-539, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the features of metadiscourse across different teacher moves in university linguistics classroom discourse and the teaching strategies reflected in its use. The results reveal that teachers employ diverse metadiscourse during classroom interactions to support student reasoning.
