British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract While Gaokao, the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE), has been extensively discussed outside the Chinese academic circle, the retake policy of the test has not received much attention. Moreover, Gaokao research in China has predominantly examined the effectiveness of the retake decision in relation to students' demographic ...

A Method for Optical Quantification of Local Oxygen Limitations in Multiphase Bioreactors
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Spatial oxygen limitation is a major source of physiological stress and metabolic, scale‐dependent heterogeneity in aerobic bioprocesses. In gas‐liquid stirred tank reactors, oxygen availability is governed by hydrodynamics and mass transfer and is therefore inherently non‐uniform.

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.
