Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

Global overview of progress in respecting the contributions of traditional knowledge in biodiversity governance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recognition and engagement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) and other traditional knowledge (TK) holders in formal biodiversity governance remain limited, despite their significant contribution to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through their knowledge, innovations, practices, and land stewardship.

Synthesizing beaver coexistence messaging with the capability, opportunity, and motivation behavior model

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the western United States, conservation practitioners are increasingly working with private landowners to restore habitat for North American beavers (Castor canadensis) and to use nonlethal mitigation techniques when beavers damage crops and infrastructure.

Automating the analysis of public saliency and attitudes toward biodiversity from digital media

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Measuring public attitudes toward wildlife provides crucial insights into human relationships with nature and helps monitor progress toward Global Biodiversity Framework targets. Yet, conducting such assessments at a global scale presents challenges.

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.

Striking a Balance: Stakeholder Perceptions of Risk in Horse Racing

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Thoroughbred racing is a major industry, and in recent years, public concerns about equine safety have become more prominent, particularly in relation to on‐track injuries and fatalities. This has challenged the industry's social licence to operate (SLO).

Transitioning From L1 Medium of Instruction to L2 English Medium Instruction: The Role of Translanguaging in Contributing to EFL Students’ Language Learning Motivation

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on English‐Medium‐Instruction (EMI) highlights inadequate support for students transitioning from L1‐medium‐instruction to EMI. To date, little research has focused on how L2 students’ adaptation to an EMI environment influences their L2 learning motivation (LLM).

容重对红壤条件下涌泉根灌水分入渗能力影响

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2019
为研究红壤地区土壤容重对涌泉根灌水分入渗能力的影响，以江西红壤为例，采用室内试验，研究了不同容重条件下红壤涌泉根灌水分运移及其分布特性。结果表明：容重对土壤入渗能力有显著影响。随着容重的减小，湿润锋、累积入渗量、入渗率均呈增大趋势，且容重越小，减小的幅度越大。湿润锋、累积入渗量以及稳渗率与土壤容重均呈幂函数负相关关系；对于同一深度土层，土壤容重越大，对应的土壤含水率越小，在水分再分布过程中容重对含水率分布的影响逐渐减弱。通过Kostiakov入渗模型表明，土壤初始入渗速率随容重增大而减小，且容重越大 ...
