Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Scientific literacy relates to how an individual uses their scientific knowledge and skills to participate as an active citizen in society. It is widely regarded and accepted as one of the most important goals of science education. Yet, in enacted curricula, this goal of science education has languished in the shadows, with many citing ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

Strengthening urban deer management with structured decision making
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban deer management (UDM) decision‐makers face social, ecological, regulatory, and economic pressures when creating an agreeable deer management plan for stakeholders. Historically, decision making techniques (e.g. consensus‐based analyses) have not effectively balanced UDM elements leading to short‐lived management progress.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Supplementary feeding for declining hedgehog Erinaceus europaeus populations is popular in Great Britain and has been suggested as an important factor in explaining higher densities in urban areas compared with rural ones. Occupancy modelling was used to test whether spatial variation in supplementary feeding, natural food, habitat, or predator ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –
