Problem solving in plant ecology: Enhancing cognitive learning outcomes
BiosferCognitive learning outcomes (CLO) are the most important part of learning. CLO the basis of students' understanding for further learning. CLO play an important role in students' readiness to face the real world.

Comparative study of Sulina and Sfântu Gheorghe seaside flora [PDF]
Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2007 The seaside flora of Sulina and Sfântu Gheorghe localities was investigated in 2006. In the vegetation periods, a total of 316 plant specimens were identified. At the end of the study we determined that the species belonging to 192 genera and 64 families.

The use of chronosequences in studies of ecological succession and soil development [PDF]
, 2010 1. Chronosequences and associated space-for-time substitutions are an important and often necessary tool for studying temporal dynamics of plant communities and soil development across multiple time-scales.

Applying trait-based models to achieve functional targets for theory-driven ecological restoration [PDF]
, 2014 Manipulating community assemblages to achieve functional targets is a key component of restoring degraded ecosystems. The response-and-effect trait framework provides a conceptual foundation for translating restoration goals into functional trait targets,

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Potential phytotoxic and shading effects of invasive Fallopia (Polygonaceae) taxa on the germination of dominant native species [PDF]
, 2011 Two species of the genus Fallopia (F. sachalinensis, F. japonica, Polygonaceae) native to Asia, and their hybrid (F. ×bohemica), belong to the most noxious plant invaders in Europe.

Insights into a long life without cancer: The case of the bowhead whale
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Long‐lived, large‐bodied organisms have evolved powerful anticancer mechanisms that preserve cellular and tissue integrity across extended lifespans. A recent study by Firsanov et al. shows that greater genome stability is a key factor underlying the remarkable longevity and cancer resistance of one such species, the bowhead whale.

Seed production, infestation, and viability in Acacia tortilis (synonym: Vachellia tortilis) and Acacia robusta (synonym: Vachellia robusta) across the Serengeti rainfall gradient [PDF]
, 2017 Tree recruitment in savannas proceeds in multiple stages characterized by successive filters occurring at the seed and seedling stages. The “demographic bottleneck” hypothesis suggests that such filters ultimately restrict tree density and prevent trees ...
