A Methodology to Analyze Students' Comics Created in the Context of Science Inquiry in Secondary Education Reveals Their Modes of Reasoning

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces a methodology for analyzing comics drawn by students in the context of a science inquiry. Within a pragmatist situated semiotic approach, comics created by the students in the context of a science inquiry are semiotic representations reflecting learning viewed as a sense‐making inferential process via the building of a ...

Zinc addition and mowing alter the timing and duration of reproductive phenology in dominant plants of a meadow steppe

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology, while genetically determined, is highly responsive to environmental drivers such as soil nutrient availability and disturbance. As an essential micronutrient, zinc (Zn) plays a critical role in plant development by regulating key processes including RNA

Assemblages as Ecologies

open access: yesEAR
In this essay I draw on my art research and installation ‘Earthly Bodies, Subterranean Rhythms’ to posit assemblages as ecologies: platforms where specific agencies and interactions occur at different scales, including microscopic levels.

Herbivore species asynchrony underpins multitrophic stability across plants, herbivores and predators

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across a grassland food web, multitrophic stability was most closely associated with herbivore species asynchrony. By identifying herbivores as a key source of temporal buffering between plants and predators, this study shows that intermediate consumers can play a central role in stabilizing the complex food web.

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

Beyond rooting: Enhancing post-root growth and vigor in ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) through an integrated propagation protocol

open access: yesOrnamental Horticulture
This study aimed to optimize leaf-cutting propagation of ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), which typically suffers from slow post-rooting growth. In the first experiment, four leaf cutting types (blade+rachis, blade, basal, and apical segments) were ...
