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...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are becoming one of the leading public health threats globally. Although, the presence of plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance has been both extensively researched 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...

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...

Performance block is a blanket term that research is trying to propose to replace sport specific terms such as yips, mental block, or lost move syndrome. Though symptoms may present slightly different...

Looked at the rates of depression, anxiety and stress using the DASS-21 in college athletes during COVID-19. Looked at the difference between males and females over time. Results show there was no...

Gastropods Ifremeria nautilei and Alviniconcha boucheti were collected from deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the underwater Mata Volcanoes. The population structure of these species were assessed using...

This study explored the effects of drought stress on the antibacterial activity of five medicinal plant species. Leaves of four coastal sage scrub plants were collected over four months from the end...

The purpose of this study was to determine the existence of high school students’ alternative conceptions regarding stem cells, and explore the underlying themes and contexts of these conceptions...

Although the use of technology in biological career paths is increasing globally, studies indicate that United States undergraduate biology students are not prepared for this technologically advanced...

The Conceptual Inventory of Natural Selection (CINS) developed by Dianne Anderson and Kathleen Fisher is a valuable tool to measure how well college students understand natural selection. However...

The conceptual Inventory of Natural Selection was first published in 2002 (Anderson & Fisher, 2002). Recent research by Nehm & Schonfeld (2008) has raised concern as to whether or not the Conceptual...

This study investigated the use of biological concept cartoons in discussions as a strategy to actively engage low performing (LP) seventh grade students to stimulate the formation of more...

In this study a design-based research approach was applied in the creation of a data-rich problem (DRP) task intended to improve student achievement in cellular respiration at the ecosystem level; an...

Evolution, by means of natural selection, is a core concept central to understanding biology. A hurdle to effective natural selection instruction is the wide range of alternative conceptions held by...

Research reveals that developing a meaningful multileveled understanding of molecular genetics is challenging for students. An unexplored approach to fostering this scientific understanding is the use...

Concepts in evolution are introduced at the middle school level, but are taught in more depth at the high school level. Students come in with prior conceptions of evolution that influence student...

Higher education science researchers have postulated that understanding variation is a threshold concept in biology. Variation is evident in all living organisms yet is often overlooked as important...

Disciplines such as law, business, and medicine have used case studies for decades to teach students about their field through comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation skills...

There are four species within the genus Tapirus: Tapirus bairdii (Baird’s tapir), Tapirus indicus (Malayan tapir), Tapirus terrestris (Brazilian tapir), and Tapirus pinchaque (Mountain tapir). Tapirs...

In the United States only 40% of students who start a STEM major finish their degree (Olson & Riordan, 2012). One of the obstacles that students face is taking gateway classes such as chemistry...
