Bridging the Gap Between L1 and L2: Enhanced Emotional Vocabulary Through Elaborative Processing in Spanish‐Speaking English Language Learners

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foreign languages are often learnt in formal and disembodied environments which may limit the emotional resonance of their vocabulary and their pragmatic usage in real‐life communication. In a context of English as a foreign language (EFL), this study examines whether elaborative processing as a teaching strategy leads to changes in the ...

Partisanship, Deservingness, and the Attitudinal Policy Feedback Process for Social Policy

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In an era of identity‐based partisan polarization, we examine whether social policies can still generate positive attitudinal feedback among beneficiaries. Drawing on nationally representative survey data, we demonstrate that partisanship conditions the policy feedback process through divergent perceptions of group deservingness.

Missing the Mark: Adoption of Watermarking for Generative AI Systems in Practice and Implications Under the New EU AI Act

Policy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT AI‐generated images have become so good in recent years that individuals often cannot distinguish them from ‘real’ images. This development, combined with the rapid spread of AI‐generated content online, creates a series of societal risks. Watermarking, a technique that involves embedding information within the content to indicate their AI ...

Synthesizing beaver coexistence messaging with the capability, opportunity, and motivation behavior model

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract In the western United States, conservation practitioners are increasingly working with private landowners to restore habitat for North American beavers (Castor canadensis) and to use nonlethal mitigation techniques when beavers damage crops and infrastructure.

Charge towards green finance ignores risks of nature commodification: Evidence from the UK's climate and nature recovery policy landscape

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1297-1308, May 2026.
Abstract The urgent need for up‐scaled finance has become central to the climate and nature recovery discourses worldwide. With most existing investments coming from public sources, closing the financing gap has become the overpowering argument for calling for private investments into nature restoration and conservation.

Simulating drying and human impacts on river networks to evaluate biological quality indices performance through the lens of metacommunity theory

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
This work constitutes a first step towards developing simulation‐based assessments that incorporate catchment drying patterns to support biomonitoring of drying river networks. Our approach can inform stakeholders when current methods are likely to fail and contribute to decision‐making on whether adapting current methods is possible or developing new ...

Long‐Term Time Horizons and Support for Public Investment

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Generating public support for long‐term public investment may require understanding what citizens perceive as the “long term” in politics and how these perceptions shape their preferences. Across two studies, we find that UK citizens generally understand “long term” as 5–10 years.

Addressing environmental misperceptions for nature recovery

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract A poorly understood and systemic challenge to global conservation agreements is shifting baseline syndrome (SBS), wherein people misperceive the extent to which nature has changed. This can diminish societal expectations for nature recovery. We broadened the conceptual framing of SBS beyond the more common elements of nature loss to include ...

Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...
