Counter‐factual simulation highlights requirements for additional management to avert extinction of a relict Tītī/Sooty Shearwater population

Ibis, EarlyView.
Seabirds play key ecological roles but face increasing threats worldwide. Among them, Tītī (Sooty Shearwater) Ardenna grisea are among the most abundant and culturally significant species in the Southern Hemisphere but are also threatened. Kapiti Island, Aotearoa (New Zealand), holds a Tītī colony which, despite eradication of non‐native mammalian ...

Measuring Interactional Competence in a Japanese University EFL Speaking Context

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability to interact is an integral aspect of speaking proficiency. Therefore, methods of assessing interaction need to be incorporated into second language (L2) speaking tests. The main purpose of this exploratory study is to attempt to quantify interactional competence (IC) in a Japanese university EFL (English as a foreign language ...

Haematological and histopathological monitoring of monosodium glutamate–supplemented feeding in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): A possible modelling for a single health approach

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of monosodium glutamate (MSG), a known flavour enhancer added to many ready‐to‐eat foods, as a feed additive in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Evaluating the effects of MSG on aquatic organisms will fill the knowledge gap in this field by monitoring the haematological indices
