Plant invasion in mountain ecosystems reduces soil micro‐food web complexity at higher elevations

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Anthropogenic activities have accelerated plant invasions in mountain ecosystems, impacting the structure and functions of native plant communities. Changes in above‐ground vegetation can drive shifts in below‐ground biota, yet the effects of plant invasions on soil ...

Improving efficiency in conservation planning by modeling species‐specific responses to threat abatement

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reversing ongoing biodiversity loss requires effectively managing anthropogenic threats. Although conservation actions can mitigate these threats, prioritizing and targeting such actions remain challenging because species respond differently depending on the nature of the threats and their biological traits.

Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...

Learning Styles, Engagement and Anxiety in AI‐Mediated Writing: A Multimodal Feedback Study

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) tools now permeate English academic writing. However, evidence on how feedback modalities align with student differences and with psychological mechanisms remains limited. Prior work often reduced learning styles to simple matches with delivery modes and treated learning engagement and writing anxiety as peripheral.

Exploring Chinese International Students’ Intercultural Competence in Australian University Classrooms: Challenges and Opportunities

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the increasing number of Chinese international students in Australian universities, intercultural competence has become a critical factor influencing their interactions with Australian tutors in university classroom settings. Existing research often examines students’ intercultural competence from a single‐method or single‐perspective ...

Vocabulary Strategy Instruction in the Argentine EFL Context: Teachers’ Perspectives and Practices

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on vocabulary strategy instruction (VSI), little has been known about teachers’ perspectives on how it is understood and implemented in practice. This study investigated Argentinian EFL teachers’ priorities in vocabulary instruction, their perceived knowledge of learner strategies for spoken vocabulary, and factors ...

A Latent Profile Analysis of Chinese EFL Students’ Speaking Self‐Efficacy: The Role of Gender in Predicting Profile Membership and the Association of Profiles With Speaking Proficiency

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding learners’ English speaking self‐efficacy is essential for promoting effective oral communication in EFL contexts. However, variable‐centered research on English speaking self‐efficacy often overlooks heterogeneity among learners.

There Is Always a Bigger Fish. Determinants of Power Perceptions in Swiss Biodiversity Policy

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) views power as crucial in policy processes, but the nature of coalition power, its determinants, and how to empirically measure it remain understudied. In this article, we use a mixed method approach and social network analysis to explore power relationships in the biodiversity policy subsystem in ...

“The Land's Been Queer Longer Than the Colonizers Have Been Here. Hiy Hiy.” Impacts of Anti‐Queer and Trans Policies and Resistance Through Art, Queer Joy, and Worldmaking Among Youth

Sexuality, Gender &Policy, Volume 9, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores how 2SLGBTQ+ youth in Alberta, Canada—the country's most Conservative province—mobilize queer joy as a form of resistance amid rising anti‐queer and anti‐trans policies under a settler colonial, cisheteropatriarchal regime. Drawing from youth‐produced collages, we demonstrate that this visual arts‐based participatory method

Addressing the Right to Food Through Food Expenditure Burdens: Distributional Evidence Among Low‐Income Farming Families in Brazil (2012–2023)

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Household food expenditure continues to be a key factor in ensuring the realization of the Human Right to Adequate Food. Particularly in Brazil, access to food can be limited by economic constraints in vulnerable families, especially among farming families, who have been more vulnerable to food insecurity in recent years in the country.
