Learning analytics for academic paths: student evaluations of two dashboards for study planning and monitoring

An in-depth understanding of student experiences and evaluations of learning analytics dashboards (LADs) is needed to develop supportive learning analytics tools.This study investigates how students (N = 140) evaluated two student-facing LADs as a support for academic path-level self-regulated learning (SRL) through the concrete processes of planni

Ozone Damages to Mediterranean Crops: Physiological Responses

In this brief review we analyzed some aspects of tropospheric ozone damages to crop plants.Specifically, we addressed this issue to Mediterranean environments, where plant response to multiple stresses may either exacerbate or counteract deleterious ozone Body Scrubber effects.After discussing the adequacy of current models to predict ozone damages

Isolation-by-distance and outbreeding depression are sufficient to drive parapatric speciation in the absence of environmental influences.

A commonly held view in evolutionary biology is that speciation (the emergence of genetically distinct and reproductively incompatible subpopulations) is driven by external environmental constraints, such as localized barriers to dispersal or Barriere creme habitat-based variation in selection pressures.We have developed a spatially explicit model
