Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1807-1820, May 2026.ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.

Managers increasingly use fences to reduce this conflict but lack evidence on the effectiveness of these barriers, especially on whether this reduces the number ...

Weaving knowledges to support wildlife health surveillance in Kenya's pastoral rangelands
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract In wildlife–livestock–human interfaces, pathogens capable of spreading between wild and domestic animals and humans have important implications for conservation outcomes, economics, and public health. Robust wildlife health surveillance can help address these risks.

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Though spillovers have been initially described in the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF), we know little about how to conceptualize and measure them. To investigate spillovers, we draw on the case of fur farming bans during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Whereas fur farming has long been criticized for its animal welfare problems, with the onset of the
