ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Drawing on 40 in‐depth interviews with transgender and nonbinary people, we found that respondents' gender identities or displays shifted day‐by‐day and audience‐by‐audience. The first describes respondents shifting their identities and displays based on feeling their way through gender while the latter describes feeling out an audience.

Managing Competency‐Based Resistance in Video‐Mediated L2 Peer Feedback Sessions
Abstract Though there is growing empirical evidence on managing advice resistance as an institutional work of higher status party with superior epistemic knowledge domain (e.g., trainer) across diverse settings (e.g., supervision meetings), there is still a lack of research on how second language (L2) learners handle peer resistance in real time once ...

Abstract Private tutoring—or shadow education—has received ample scholarly attention due to increasing demand from parents for reasons of social mobility in ESL/EFL contexts. Referred to as English private tutoring (EPT) for language learning purposes, this type of non‐formal education shares certain features of formal education like content and ...

The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We

Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

GenoEye: A machine learning‐based framework for the prediction of intermediate eye color phenotypes
Abstract Forensic DNA phenotyping (FDP) enables the prediction of externally visible characteristics from genetic data, providing valuable investigative leads. While current approaches achieve high accuracy for blue and brown eye color, the prediction of intermediate phenotypes such as green and hazel remains challenging, particularly in Southern ...

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

Rapid non‐destructive assessment of leaf water status with low‐cost transmittance meters
Abstract Tools for more efficiently managing agricultural production and the use of limited water resources are required in the context of a growing global population, while the increasing threat posed by droughts and wildfires necessitates improved methods for risk assessment, forecasting and early warning. Quantifying leaf water content is central to
