Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

From Clueless to Confident: How ChatGPT Transforms Academic Writing in Chinese as a Second Language

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has demonstrated its potential to enhance the quality of second‐language (L2) academic writing. This study used a qualitative approach comprising analysis of ChatGPT usage‐history screenshots, written assignments, and semi‐structured interview data on students’ use of GenAI in their L2 Chinese ...

Attainment Pairing Effects on Cognitive Conflict in Technology‐enhanced EFL Cooperative Tasks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how attainment pairing (high‐high versus high‐low versus low‐low attainment) impacts English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learner engagement during technology‐enhanced cooperative writing tasks. Seventy‐eight Chinese university learners formed 39 dyads (13 pairs per group) via Tencent Meeting.
