Supporting Pathways into College and Careers: The Case of Adult Education ESL in Community Colleges
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Research has increasingly focused on the importance of college preparation and career and technical education (CTE) for multilingual learners (MLs), many of them classified as “English Learners,” in K‐12 schools. Less attention, however, has been paid to the collegiate and professional aspirations of another significant population of MLs in ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Human disturbance to nesting raptors can influence breeding success, especially during early breeding. This study examined the impact of researcher presence, a relatively low impact human disturbance, on eastern barn owls Tyto javanica javanica during monitoring of 57 nest‐boxes in oil palm plantations in Malaysia over a period of 30 months.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.This study investigates the breeding success of the critically endangered White‐rumped Vulture in Khaireni Community Forest, and examines local knowledge and perceptions toward its conservation. We found that 71% of active nests were successful, with breeding success significantly influenced by the proximity to carcass deposition sites.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Common cuckoo nestlings from different populations show varying degrees of mimicry of warbler begging calls, with the Yongnianwa population being the most accurate and the Zhalong population the least. Overall, these cuckoos employ a dual strategy: they conservatively mimic the high‐frequency components of host calls while adaptively adjusting their ...

Early‐life environment drives long‐term decrease in adult body mass in a wild bird population
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using more than 90,000 body mass measures of adult and nestling great tits Parus major, we show that the 1 SD decline in adult mass between 1978 and 2024 is a consequence of changes in the environment (i.e. increase in population density) experienced at early life.

Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: A long‐term seabird study
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Drawing on two decades of research in East Greenland, this study shows that little auks, key seabird indicators of Arctic ecosystem health, can adapt to rapid environmental change through behavioural flexibility. However, increasing storms and mercury pollution are pushing resilience to its limits, providing an early warning of broader Arctic ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Many young birds die soon after fledging, as they lack the skills to find food and avoid predation. Post-fledging parental care is assumed to assist acquisition of these vital skills. However, we still lack empirical examples examining the length of time
