Elementary Students' Metacognitive Knowledge of Epistemic Criteria

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scientific modeling is a core practice of scientific inquiry. Students' engagement in modeling can be enhanced by attending to epistemic criteria, which in science are standards used to evaluate the validity and accuracy of scientific models. While prior research has focused on students' development and use of epistemic criteria in scientific ...

Ecological acclimation: A framework to integrate fast and slow responses to climate change

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological responses to climate change occur across vastly different time‐scales, from minutes for physiological plasticity to decades or centuries for community turnover and evolutionary adaptation. Accurately predicting the range of ecosystem trajectories will require

Ecological effects of habitat complexity vary with intertidal elevation: Implications for seawall eco‐engineering

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results demonstrate that the addition of habitat complexity through eco‐engineering can promote key functional groups of algae and invertebrates on seawalls, but effects vary across tidal elevation gradients and with the type of complexity provided.

Tolerance of organisms composing an Arctic kelp community to ocean warming and marine heatwaves

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
These results suggest that Arctic kelp communities are fairly tolerant to warming and short‐term marine heatwaves, despite the few minor effects on photosynthesis by some of the kelp species. We note that the future response of kelp communities must account for the potential indirect effects of climate change, such as predation and competition, along ...

The algae energy pathway: An emerging mechanism for energy transfer in northern peatlands

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
We synthesized research showing how recent environmental conditions set in place by climate change can govern CO2 emissions by regulating the composition of microbes in northern peatlands. We highlight conditions that favour algal‐mediated carbon uptake and demonstrate how the presence or absence of an algal energy pathway can determine the direction ...
