Chinese University Students’ Motivation to Learn Greek: A Transnational Postdigital Exploration

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on the motivation of learners of Languages Other Than English (LOTE) has grown steadily in recent years; however, most studies focus on classroom‐based activities and seldom consider how transnational experiences or digital practices contribute to motivational development.

EFL Learners’ Receptive Vocabulary Size and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Estimates Across Levels

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR) is widely used as a reference for language teaching and learning. However, providing vocabulary size (VS) estimates is beyond the CEFR's original aim. Previous research has also shown that learners’ receptive VS is related to overall proficiency and to the four language skills ...

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Divergent exploratory‐avoidant behavioural strategies may drive niche differentiation in juvenile Antarctic fishes

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We used an ecological niche theory framework integrating physiological and behavioural ecology to understand interspecific differentiation of juveniles of four Antarctic fishes: Trematomus bernacchii, Trematomus pennellii, Trematomus nicolai and Pagothenia borchgrevinki.

Modified fin morphology in mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) may indicate nesting behaviour

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring reproductive traits in Southern Ocean species is challenging. Males in some channichthyids thicken the epithelium along their anal fins to aid nest construction. This study presents initial evidence that the only commercially harvested channichthyid, mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari), exhibits modifications to their anal ...
