Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

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).

L2 Chinese Grammatical Acquisition and Processing: A Substantive and Methodological Review

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a systematic review of 92 empirical studies on Chinese as a second language (CSL) in grammatical processing and development, synthesizing their substantive foci and methodological characteristics. The results reveal consistent scholarly attention to cross‐linguistic topics, with less focus on features that are distinctively

Engineering 1T‐MoS2‐Integrated Bimetallic Sulfide Heterostructure on Nickel Foam for Enhanced Alkaline Water/Seawater Splitting

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The heterostructured 1T‐MoS2‐based bimetallic sulfides are promising bifunctional electrocatalysts for alkaline overall water splitting. However, the controllable synthesis of these catalysts is hindered by the ready conversion of Mo species to 2H‐MoS2 and the tedious heterostructure engineering during sulfidation.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

刚察县不同植被类型的土壤水分特征研究

, 2012
通过对土壤的物理性质和水分特征曲线的测定,分析了刚察县4种植被类型土壤的持水性能和供水性能。结果表明,不同植被类型土壤水分特征曲线与Van Genuchten模型非常符合,R2值都高达0.99以上,说明用Van Genuchten模型描述不同类型土壤水分数量和能量之间的关系是比较准确的。不同植被类型土壤的物理性黏粒含量为:油菜地>高草地>草灌地,土壤容重为:高草地>草灌地>油菜地,而总孔隙度为:油菜地>草灌地>高草地,表明油菜地土壤水分物理性质明显优于草灌地和高草地 ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
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 ...

陕西省洛川县第3-4层黄土和古土壤水分特征研究

, 2012
通过对陕西省洛川县第34黄土层和第34红色古土壤层的原状土进行水分特征曲线、田间持水量等项目的实验测定,分析计算了各层土壤的供水储水性能及有效水分含量。结果表明,洛川第34黄土层和第34红色古土壤土层的水分特征曲线与Van Genuchten模型非常符合,相关系数R~2均达0.99以上,说明采用Van Genuchten模型对这4个土层的水分含量和能量之间的关系进行描述是比较准确的。0~30kPa吸力条件下,第34黄土层比第34红色古土壤层持水量高,黄土层的供水(释水)性能和储水性能强于古土壤 ...
