Tree-thinking is increasingly recognized as a crucial skill in the biological sciences. However, for students, the task is wrought with challenges. Even as representations are meant to facilitate reasoning about difficult concepts such as macroevolution and the phylogenetic relationships among taxa, existing tree diagrams that are so crucial to the biologist‟s profession present many challenges...

Competitive optimization models, attempting to understand the diversity of life.

The complex interplay between the abiotic and biotic components of plant communities is precisely whatmakes them so fascinating to study. This complexity, however, is also what makes building predictive models of plant responses to climate change particularly difficult. Prediction into the novel environmental conditions that climate change brings requires mechanistic understanding of the scalin...

Attempts to define life do not help to understand the origin of life.

the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
