What Are the Best Predictors of STEM Competences in PISA 2018? An Analysis of the Spanish Context Using Data Mining

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects for the present and future society is clear. With assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the possibility of an analysis on student‐related variables predicting results in STEM areas opens. The aim was to identify the PISA

Physiological Responses of Cystoseira compressa in Relation to the Presence of the Invasive Macroalga Batophora occidentalis Under Differing Habitat Conditions in a Mediterranean Coastal Lagoon

Diversity
The spread of the green macroalga Batophora occidentalis into shallow, sheltered Mediterranean systems may alter habitat structure and impose sublethal stress on resident habitat-forming species. We assessed whether the presence of B. occidentalis in the

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Shedding light on the environmental efficiency of the public light service: minimising light pollution through the global Malmquist–Luenberger index

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 528-551, January 2027.
Abstract The search for evidence in public management and the implementation of good management by public bodies is becoming increasingly important, and the principles of effectiveness and efficiency should be reinforced. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the change in efficiency in the provision of public lighting services by local governments ...

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...
