Conceptualising quality early childhood education: Learning from young children in Brazil and South Africa through creative and play‐based methods

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education.

Influence of forest stand structure on the occurrence of bird community in Skalná Alpa National Nature Reserve in the Veľká Fatra Mts. (West Carpathians)

Journal of Forest Science, 2004
The study deals with the influence of the structure, texture and dynamics of a spruce-beech primeval forest on the bird community in Skalná Alpa National Nature Reserve in the Veľká Fatra Mts. (West Carpathians, Slovakia) in the years 1982-2002.

Are urban bird communities influenced by the bird diversity of adjacent landscapes? [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2001
SummaryThe species diversity of adjacent landscapes influences the conservation or restoration of several animal groups in urban areas, but the effect on birds is unclear. To address this question, we compared bird species richness (BSR) and community composition between periurban (area surrounding the town) and urban (suburban and centre areas ...

Referential signaling in a communally breeding bird

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023
Referential signaling, a complex form of communication in which specific signals are associated with external referents, was once thought to be limited to primates. Recent research has documented referential signaling in several other cooperative taxa, predominantly in kin-based societies.

Landscape features outside the airport exerted direct and indirect impact on bird community characteristics inside the airport

Global Ecology and Conservation
The presence of bird communities within an airport can impact the likelihood of bird strikes occurring, with airport birds often being influenced by the surrounding habitat.

Legacy forest structure increases bird diversity and abundance in aging young forests

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Many studies have demonstrated the importance of early‐successional forest habitat for breeding bird abundance, composition, and diversity. However, very few studies directly link measures of bird diversity, composition and abundance to measures of ...

Consistency in bird community assembly over medium-term along rural-urban gradients in Argentina

Ecological Processes, 2021
Background The analysis of bird community assembly rules is fundamental to understand which mechanisms determine the composition of bird species in urban areas. However, the long-term variation of community assembly rules has not been analyzed yet.

Microhabitat variables influencing the presence and abundance of birds in floodplain grassland of the lower Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, Bangladesh

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Grassland bird communities are likely declining in all major grassland ecosystems globally due to habitat loss and modification, yet knowledge of the status of many tropical grassland bird communities is relatively poor.

Bird community response to fruit energy [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2010
Summary 1. The abundance and predictability of food resources have been posited as explanations for the increase of animal species richness in tropical habitats. However, the heterogeneity of natural ecosystems makes it difficult to quantify a response of animal species richness to these qualities of food resources. 2.

Data‐Driven Materials Science for Energy‐Sustainable Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Data‐driven approaches powered by artificial intelligence are transforming materials discovery for energy sustainability. This review examines how auto‐generated high‐quality materials databases and domain‐specific language models accelerate research in photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, batteries and magnetic materials. Applications involve extraction of
