Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Anthropogenic nitrogen addition interrupts seasonal connectivity and structures of plant–pollinator networks

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

Plant economics traits predict plant carbon allocation and responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under varying precipitation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Most terrestrial plant species form symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). However, the below‐ground carbon (C) allocation of plants and the nutritional and growth benefits provided by AMF within this symbiosis vary greatly across species and environments ...

Root economic space is associated with rhizosphere microbial divergence via root metabolite‐mediated pathways in degraded grasslands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Grasslands worldwide are experiencing severe degradation due to overgrazing, climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, resulting in substantial declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

The Role of Language Dominance in Congruency Effects on Multi‐Word Unit Processing: Evidence From Early Bilinguals

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how the learner‐related factors of language dominance, encompassing language history, proficiency, use, and attitude, modulate congruency effects in multi‐word unit (MWU) processing among early bilinguals. Seventy Cantonese–Putonghua bilinguals completed lexical decision tasks measuring reaction time and accuracy for ...

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 ...

The vesicle trafficking R‐SNARE VAMP714 connects auxin responses, ROS and ion homeostasis in Arabidopsis under salt stress

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Network of VAMP714‐dependent interactions during salt stress. Summary Plant responses to salt stress include an altered root architecture mediated by ion imbalances, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and altered hormonal responses. Auxin is implicated in these processes.

Partisanship, Deservingness, and the Attitudinal Policy Feedback Process for Social Policy

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In an era of identity‐based partisan polarization, we examine whether social policies can still generate positive attitudinal feedback among beneficiaries. Drawing on nationally representative survey data, we demonstrate that partisanship conditions the policy feedback process through divergent perceptions of group deservingness.
