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

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 ...

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

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.

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
