Evaluating predatory-prey relationships is critical for understanding the dynamics of ecosystems and implementing effective conservation efforts. I investigated whether Neotropical mammalian predators...

Because students in middle school through high school demonstrate persistent alternative conceptions regarding atoms and cells and their functional relationships, it is important to investigate ways...

In this study, the quality of small group discussions stimulated by concept cartoons on the topic of cell division was examined in a class of sixteen high school agriculture biology students. Two...

Although many teachers consider dissection an important educational tool, it is mainly used to reinforce information previously gained by studying anatomy and physiology. Rarely is inquiry-based...

In this study, a design-based research approach was used in the creation of data-rich problem (DRP) tasks intended to support students constructing knowledge about food webs and ecosystem dynamics...

Hannibal Bank is a seamount-like feature known for its high productivity and biodiversity that is located in an UNESCO World Heritage Site off the Pacific coast of Panama. The biodiversity and...

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a member of the Flaviviridae virus family and as of February 2016 has been declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization. Understanding the T cell...

A recently developed quantum mechanical model of cognition theorizes that neuronal signaling is significantly influenced by entangled Posner molecules (Ca9(PO4)6) in the brain. According to this model...

The researcher looked at two prebiotics, inulin and galactooligosaccharides (GOS), for their ability to promote growth of probiotics in the Lactobacilli family in the absence of glucose. The...

Macrophages are a type of immune cell present in the tumor micro environment that can be polarized by the cancer cells to aid in the growth and proliferation of the tumor. The goal of this study was...

The oncoprotein E7 coded for by the human papillomavirus (HPV) is known to degrade the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein (pRb). Transient transfections of a plasmid coding for the E7 protein...

Acrolein is an efficient agricultural herbicide within irrigation canal ditches and a biocide within oilfield water-flood systems. The fate of acrolein is typically attributed to evaporation, however...
