Author guidelines (https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/13652745/author-guidelines) state that in-text citations for three or more authors should be as follows:
Waterman et al. (1993) or (Waterman et al., 1993).
An exception to this rule occurs if two papers have first-listed authors with the same name in the reference list To avoid ambiguity, list as many names as needed to differentiate the papers, followed by “et al.” in citations. For example:
Fannon, Chan, Ramirez, Johnson, and Grimsdottir (2019) … and Fannon, Chan, Montego, Daniels, and Miller (2019)… can be cited as (Fannon, Chan, Ramirez, et al., 2019) or Fannon, Chan, Ramirez et al. (2019), and (Fannon, Chan, Montego, et al., 2019) or Fannon, Chan, Montego et al. (2019), respectively.
When there are four or less authors, Zotero is currently formatting in-text citations as (Mahaut, Fort, Violle, & Freschet, 2020).

they switched to the most recent version of the APA manual which changed the rule. If you look at current issues, they still have up to 5 authors on first citation as per APA 6th. We'll switch over the style on the repository.
