TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This study examined how task design, task motivation, and learner engagement influenced L2 vocabulary learning by comparing learner‐generated content (LGC) and teacher‐generated content (TGC) in a classroom setting. One hundred sixty‐three Japanese high school students from five intact classes were assigned to LGC, TGC, or a test‐only control ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Studies on animals continue to attract criticism, often relating to not accounting for variation, for issues with data quality, reproducibility and generalisability, yet one source of variation remains rarely systematically incorporated: differences in individuals' affective states.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.We conducted a grouping study on 52 adult musk deer to investigate whether group sex composition modulates aggressive behavior and stress response in captive musk deer. We found that the conflict interactions of all‐male groups were significantly more than those of mixed groups, and compared with the mixed groups, the conflict interactions of all‐male ...

Historical Development of Zoo Tapir (Tapirus ssp.) Survivorship
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.The survivorship of tapirs in zoos has improved significantly over historical time. ABSTRACT Tapirs (Tapirus spp.) are large, long‐lived herbivores native to Central and South America and Southeast Asia. All species are currently classified as Vulnerable (T. terrestris) or Endangered (other species) in the IUCN SSC Red List.

How Enrichment Aesthetic Shapes Zoo Visitor Perceptions of Chimpanzee Behavior and Conservation
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Enrichment aesthetic (natural vs non‐natural) does not impact visitor perceptions of chimpanzee behavior, conservation, or pet suitability. Most visitors associate chimpanzees with a conservation status of vulnerable, rather than endangered. ABSTRACT Public perceptions of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are shaped by the context in which they are viewed.

Functional variation in butterfly egg pore traits: The potential role of climate
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Immobile eggs of terrestrial animals are exposed to variable environmental conditions. Insect egg pores, critical for gas exchange (aeropyles) and fertilisation (micropyles), are ecologically important yet understudied.

Community assembly on inland cliffs is context‐dependent
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under harsh environmental conditions, community assembly processes are expected to drive pronounced functional convergence, with communities dominated by stress‐tolerant species.
