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

open access: yesFunctional 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.

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

Reconceptualising Motivation as Material‐Semiotic Entanglements: Translanguaging in Graduate TESOL Education

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multilingual students in Anglophone universities often operate in survival mode. While translanguaging supports learning, critical gaps remain in understanding how translanguaging pedagogies transform and sustain motivation in English‐dominant contexts.

Co‐Teaching in a Virtual Intensive Study Language Programme: Insights From Team Ethnography

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As virtual study abroad becomes an increasingly important form of international education, little is known about how transnational teaching is organised and sustained across institutions. Using activity theory as an analytical framework and team ethnography as methodology, this study examines a virtual intensive study (VIS) programme delivered
