Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between insularity and territorial demands, focusing on whether island territories are more likely to support regionalist and secessionist parties. To address this question, we compare electoral support for such parties across island and mainland territories using a large‐N dataset.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Drought‐Induced Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Soybean Roots Depends on NCED Gene Expression More Than Shoot‐to‐Root ABA Transport

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

Cenozoic volcanisme II: the Canary islands

, 2002
The Canarian archipelago comprises seven main volcanic islands and several islets that form a chain extending for c. 500 km across the eastern Atlantic, with its eastern edge only 100 km from the NW African coast. The islands have had a very long volcanic history, with formations over 20 million years old cropping out in the eastern Canaries.

Development of Holocene lacustrine microbialites on the Iberian Peninsula: Insights into environmental and depositional controls using X‐ray CT and petrography

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial mats and microbialites are common in modern and ancient saline lacustrine environments and are highly responsive to biological and environmental factors. As such, they represent important sources of high‐resolution environmental data across a wide range of geological time. Nonetheless, interpretation of fossil mats is non‐trivial due

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

Science Attitudes: Enjoyment of Science Lessons and Interest in Pursuing a Scientific Career. High School Students' Gender Differences

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the dimensions of enjoying science lessons and pursuing science careers were examined under gender considerations. Ex post facto research was conducted on high school students (N = 599) from the Canary Islands who completed a Spanish version of the Test of Science Related Attitudes (TORSA).
