Bridging the Gap: Student Voices on Recruitment and Retention in Ecology

The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.
Abstract Students entering ecology and environmental science face a variety of challenges, including limited awareness of career paths, lack of mentorship, and difficulties connecting with peers and faculty. These challenges are often amplified for students from marginalized backgrounds, who may also encounter microaggressions, underrepresentation, and

“Bionopoly” as a Gamechanger? Effects of Gamification on Learning Success, Motivation and Activation Among Medical Students in a Biochemistry Course

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gamification is characterized by the use of gaming elements in a non‐gaming context. This concept is commonly applied in teaching to create a more meaningful and activating learning environment. The major aim of this study was to compare possible effects of gamification on a traditional interactive teaching concept in a biochemistry course on ...

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 ...
