Expanding Possibilities for the Use of Writing Genres in Early Elementary Science: Investigating First‐Graders’ Multimodal Sequential Explanations

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 1079-1095, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the outcomes of the implementation of a first grade unit incorporating multiple modes of representation and genre‐based pedagogy to support writing instruction in the genre of sequential explanations. At the end of a 6‐day unit investigating the structure and functions of carnivorous plants, 47 first graders completed a

Epistemic Objects and Tools on the School Grounds: Addressing Plant Blindness and Knowledge Construction

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 1152-1168, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants mediate the supply of energy and matter for all animals, including human beings yet we are faced with “plant blindness” whereby we pay limited attention to and accord little value to plants. Plant blindness is evident in school curricula whereby students have limited opportunities to learn about plants.

Hummingbird interaction niche packing is influenced by species richness and resource availability in the southern tropical Andes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2275-2285, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Niche partitioning is often considered an important mechanism promoting species co‐occurrence in species‐rich communities. As species richness increases, niche partitioning may lead to different niche structures, including increased packing of species niches when the ...

High nitrogen loading impacts the temperature‐size rule and heat tolerance in a nettle‐feeding butterfly

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2011-2022, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host‐plant quality and ambient temperature are key environmental drivers of herbivorous insect performance, affecting growth, development, and survival. While temperature accelerates physiological processes in ectothermic insects, nutrient limitation in host plants can ...

Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.
