Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Although once abundant across its range, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are purportedly declining. While range maps indicate that gray fox potentially occur throughout the central United States, contemporary distribution maps are needed. We developed a Habitat Suitability Model for six states, leveraging gray fox presence data in an ensemble ...

Conservation 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 ...

Defining and identifying relevant stakeholders to advance effective conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.The challenge of defining stakeholders in environmental science and an approach for refining existing definitions. Abstract Stakeholder is a contested term that has spawned a multitude of ad hoc definitions. The ambiguity of these definitions has oftentimes impeded transdisciplinary research in environmental governance and conservation science because ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

Profiling Metacognitive Knowledge and Growth Mindset in EFL Vocabulary Learning
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Guided by the self‐regulated learning (SRL) framework, the present study investigates the associations between metacognitive knowledge and growth mindset in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) vocabulary learning, addressing a critical gap in the literature. While metacognitive knowledge, comprising person, task, and strategy dimensions, plays

Impacts of natural variability and external forcing on regional sea level change [PDF]
, 2015 全球平均海平面正在上升，预测在未来还会继续上升。海平面变化在空间上并不是均匀一致的，人们更关心的是区域性海平面变化。然而，区域性海平面往往表现出相当大的气候系统内部产生的自然变动，这使得外部强迫（包括温室气体、气溶胶等人为因素，火山爆发、太阳循环等自然因素）引起的区域性海平面变化不甚明显，同时也为未来区域性海平面变化预测带来很大的不确定性。 基于参加耦合模式比较计划第五阶段（CMIP5）的气候模式，设计了两种方法来衡量区域性尺度上外部强迫引起的海平面变化信号与海平面自然变动信号的相对强度 ...

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how foreign language teachers’ beliefs about the medium of instruction and translanguaging evolve over time by revisiting three in‐service teachers twelve years after their initial interviews. Using a qualitative longitudinal design, the study traces how translanguaging was initially framed as pedagogically deficient but ...
