Developmentally regulated multisensory integration for prey localization in the medicinal leech [PDF]

, 2011
Medicinal leeches, like many aquatic animals, use water disturbances to localize their prey, so they need to be able to determine if a wave disturbance is created by prey or by another source.

Characteristics, Motivators, and Enablers of Educators Who Earn Many Micro‐Credentials

Future in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the characteristics, motivators, and enablers of US educators, who earned more than ten micro‐credentials. Although research exists on attitudes and motivators associated with educators newly engaging with micro‐credentials, it lacks insights into learners earning many micro‐credentials.

A kinematic and computational study of leech crawling: Support for a CPG based on travelling waves of excitation. [PDF]

, 2000
Many well characterized central pattern generators (CPGs) underlie behaviors (e.g., swimming, flight, heartbeat) that require regular rhythmicity and strict phase relationships.

Failure to replicate effects of parent‐delivered early language intervention: Evidence from a randomised controlled trial with implications for universal language intervention

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Parent‐led, preschool language interventions may help to mitigate the risk of poor language and literacy outcomes associated with lower socioeconomic status. This study builds on two previous evaluations of a parent‐led early language teaching programme, which demonstrated mixed findings.

Shifting the paradigm: An Indigenous knowledge‐based stewardship plan to replenish boreal caribou in Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations' homelands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Indigenous Peoples in northern Alberta, including Dené and Cree of the Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations (ACFN and MCFN), have been using Indigenous laws and stewardship principles to care for their homelands for thousands of years. Since ACFN and MCFN signed Treaty 8 with Canada in 1899, Alberta's land management policies and

Which Knowledge Do Pre‐Service Teachers Need to Meaningfully Engage in Modeling?

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modeling involves a set of scientific practices that pre‐service science teachers struggle with. These practices involve constructing, predicting, testing, and revising models. Engaging meaningfully in modeling practices leads modelers to gain new insights about phenomena.

Higher Network Activity Induced by Tactile Compared to Electrical Stimulation of Leech Mechanoreceptors [PDF]

, 2018
The tiny ensemble of neurons in the leech ganglion can discriminate the locations of touch stimuli on the skin as precisely as a human fingertip. The leech uses this ability to locally bend the body-wall away from the stimulus. It is assumed that a three-

A Bird's Eye View of English Grammar: Connecting the Dots in Two Dimensions

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, discussions on grammar instruction have primarily focused on teaching methodologies, such as whether grammar should be taught explicitly or implicitly, and whether the focus should be on form or forms. This paper, however, shifts the focus to grammar itself, aiming to provide a “shape” for pedagogical grammar.
