Multi‐gradient warming reshapes functional traits and adaptive responses of alpine meadow plants

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional traits in alpine meadows are critical indicators of ecosystem responses to climate warming, yet dynamic changes in trait networks across warming gradients and their consequences for community functions remain poorly understood.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Making Interview Multilingualism Visible: Transnational Chinese Language Teacher Identity Construction

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines multilingual practices in research interviews, focusing on English lexical insertions in Chinese‐language research interviews with teachers of Chinese in Australian secondary schools, and treating these code‐switches as analytically meaningful rather than incidental.

Is Time Travel Possible? Accidental Signs as Sociolinguistic “Wormholes”

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociolinguistics primarily focuses on deliberately staged public signs, while relatively less attention has been given to ephemeral and non‐deliberate signs in urban environments. This study investigates “ accidental signs,” which are hidden historical texts suddenly exposed by unpredictable events.

(De)Legitimizing Language Policing: Enregisterment and Linguistic Authority in Taiwan's Digital Public

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how ordinary Taiwanese netizens perform linguistic authority by policing others’ use of Mainland Chinese expressions in everyday online interactions not originally intended to be political and how such policing is subsequently supported, resisted, or (de)legitimized in the context of Taiwan–China relations.

Linguistic Analyses of Written Corrective Feedback for Chinese as a Second Language: ChatGPT Versus Human Teachers

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 2098-2109, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study conducted linguistic analyses of the written corrective feedback (WCF) for Chinese as a second language (CSL) provided by chat generative pre‐trained transformer (ChatGPT) and human teachers (including preservice teachers and senior teachers).

Examining the multi‐disciplinary origins of biophobia towards threatening and non‐threatening wildlife in a highly urbanised city in China

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2338-2352, July 2026.
Abstract Urbanisation is reshaping how people experience wildlife, reducing our shared spaces with local biodiversity. Fewer opportunities for human–wildlife interactions weaken our emotional attachments to nature and precipitate a loss of species knowledge and familiarity.

Targeting Inflammaging: A Metformin‐Releasing Titanium Implant Reprograms Senescent Macrophages to Orchestrate Angiogenesis and Osteogenesis

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Bone defect repair in elderly patients is frequently compromised by reduced osteogenic capacity and delayed healing. Chronic inflammation‐driven inflammaging is a critical contributor to this impairment, characterized by dysfunctional autophagy in senescent macrophages (S‐MΦs), excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and ...

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1151-1164, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...
