Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia. We explored whether messages about the legal and health risks of using elephant skin for medicinal purposes (stomach illness) could reduce such consumption.

Artificial Intelligence for Language Learning: A Systematic Review of its Design, Theoretical Foundations, Implementation, and Impact

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the use of AI technologies (e.g., chatbots and automated writing evaluations (AWE)) has gained considerable attention in language learning fields in recent years, how AI technologies have been designed and implemented in language learning education, as well as their effectiveness, is understudied.

Assessing Argument Quality in L2 Argumentative Writing: Integrating Argument Elements and Intellectual Standards

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many existing rubrics for L2 argumentative writing prioritize form‐based linguistic accuracy and complexity while insufficiently addressing substantive argumentative rigor and effectiveness. This limitation is further complicated by cross‐cultural variation in rhetorical conventions and educational practices, which challenge the direct ...

AI foundation models in plant biology

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Foundation models decode genomes, engineer proteins, phenotype crops, and drive AI agents across plant biology. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/xcmmkel). Summary Rapid technological progress has enabled plant biologists to accumulate unprecedented volumes of multi‐scale, multi‐modal data, yet this abundance of data has intensified ...

Navigating the Algorithmic State: Public Values and Citizens' Preferences of AI‐Driven Public Service Delivery

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the public sector increasingly adopts AI‐powered automated decision systems (ADS), understanding how citizens experience and value ADS use in public decision‐making is both normatively and practically important. Therefore, we examine and compare the effects of seven attributes of public values on citizens' support for ADS adoption in two ...

Mapping Measurement to Theory in Policy Evolution: A Case of Net Metering Policies of the United States

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The examination of policy evolution has important practical implications, but current literature often only evaluates changing policy goals and instruments at the macro‐level, overlooking changes that occur at the more granular, micro‐level of policy text.

Polyphenol oxidase depletion in Nicotiana benthamiana enhances recombinant protein purification and preserves native protein integrity

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1283-1293, August 2026.
Polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) depletion preserves endogenous proteins at their predicted molecular weights and enhances detectable enzymatic activities. (a) Less RbcL crosslinking in ppo mutant of Nicotiana benthamiana. Leaf extracts were incubated for 1 h, separated on protein gels, stained with Coomassie or analyzed by Western blot with the anti‐RbcL ...
