Exploring Acoustic Overlap in Second Language Vowel Productions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the alignment of vowel categories between second language (L2) learners and first language (L1) speakers of the target language, as well as potential overlaps between adjacent vowels in terms of formant frequencies and duration.

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

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from
