Map and Archival Evidence of the Historical Avulsion of the Brahmaputra River

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract One of the world's great rivers, the Brahmaputra, avulsed—changed course—significantly sometime between the dates of 1765 and 1830. These are the dates of surveys by James Rennell (grey) and Richard Wilcox (black), both under the direction of the East India Company; no other surveys between these dates can refine the estimate of the ...

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

Collaborative Writing and Learning of Reported Speech During Mixed‐Age Peer Interactions in English as a Foreign Language Classroom

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peer collaboration is an essential part of learning in mixed‐age (M‐A) classrooms, and the same applies to writing and learning grammar in the secondary school curriculum. Although a growing body of research has shown language learning benefits of collaborative writing (CW), only very few have been conducted with secondary school students ...

Self‐Consumption Translation: Exploring Interlingual Translation Within Multilingual (mainland) China

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interlingual translation, as defined by Roman Jakobson, refers to the transfer of meaning between languages. However, this concept has often been conflated with linguistic shifts between distinct cultures and nation‐states. To challenge this misconception, I propose the concept of self‐consumption translation (SCT), a subfield of interlingual ...
