British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the factors associated with persistent absenteeism (an absence rate of 10% or higher) and authorised and unauthorised absence among secondary school pupils in Scotland. Using linked administrative data, the analysis focuses on secondary school stages S1–S6 in three academic years.

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities
Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

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.
