« Lumière vivante » : le discours naturaliste sur la phosphorescence de la mer au XIXe siècle

Juliette Azoulai

Studia Romanica Posnaniensia > 2017 > 44 > 4 > 45-57

The phosphorescence of the sea has aroused much questioning since antiquity and numerous studies address the topic in the 19th century, when this phenomenon (today referred to as bioluminescence) is given a biological explanation. Raising admiration, wonder, but also scientific controversy, the bright sea is a common motif, frequently reappearing in scientific travel writing, research studies in marine biology,...

Kierunek biologiczny we współczesnej kryminologii

Anna Kossowska

Archiwum Kryminologii > 1984 > XI > 123-141

Discussions of the relationship between biological factors and criminality have a long tradition in criminology. During the first stage of development of positivistic criminology, they constituted a predominant trend in the study of etiology of crime and delinquency. Then, with the future development of this school, they became one of its major lines, together with the study of cultural variables...

Dariusz Adam Szkutnik

Semina Scientiarum > 2017 > 16

Achievements of Hans Driesch (1867–1941), German embryologist and philosopher,are contemporarily viewed almost exclusively from their later metaphysicalphase of development, while his earlier scientific experimental researchesare not appreciated sufficiently enough. They consisted in highlighting thespecifically totipotential character of biological, and especially of embryological,processes what...

The Wolffian roots of Kant’s teleology

Hein van den Berg, H. van den Berg

Studies in History and Philosophy of Biol & Biomed Sci > 2013 > 44 > 4 Part B > 724-734

Kant’s teleology as presented in the Critique of Judgment is commonly interpreted in relation to the late eighteenth-century biological research of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. In the present paper, I show that this interpretative perspective is incomplete. Understanding Kant’s views on teleology and biology requires a consideration of the teleological and biological views of Christian Wolff and his...

Analysis of Religious Bias among Christian Students in Science

Paula A. G. Soneral, Sara E. Brownell, M. Elizabeth Barnes

Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion > 62 > 1 > 184 - 202

Christians are notably underrepresented in science in part due to long‐standing public perceptions of science‐religion incompatibility and antireligious bias in science. This research explores whether undergraduates at a Christian university perceive and impose anti‐Christian cultural stigma in science. Survey results from 126 biology students revealed that though students generally perceived the...

Plankton size spectra as an indicator of larval success in Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax)

Charles Hinchliffe, Paloma A. Matis, Hayden T. Schilling, Jason D. Everett, more

Fisheries Oceanography > 32 > 2 > 196 - 212

Estimating demographic changes in a population requires the measurement of some minimal combination of several vital rates, including the flux of individuals into a population, the population growth rate, individual growth rates and mortality rates. For larval fishes, the ratio of instantaneous mortality to growth (i.e., their ‘recruitment potential’) has been used to make inferences of cohort trajectory...

How students reason about matter flows and accumulations in complex biological phenomena: An emerging learning progression for mass balance

Emily E. Scott, Jack Cerchiara, Jenny L. McFarland, Mary Pat Wenderoth, more

Journal of Research in Science Teaching > 60 > 1 > 63 - 99

In recent years, there has been a strong push to transform STEM education at K‐12 and collegiate levels to help students learn to think like scientists. One aspect of this transformation involves redesigning instruction and curricula around fundamental scientific ideas that serve as conceptual scaffolds students can use to build cohesive knowledge structures. In this study, we investigated how students...

RESPONSE TO THE COMPATIBILITY OF EVOLUTION AND DESIGN

Bethany N. Sollereder

Zygon® > 57 > 4 > 1083 - 1094

The first half of this article offers two possibilities of how the argument Kojonen makes might be vulnerable to other new developments in evolutionary science and psychology—potential broadsides that might threaten to sink the salvaged ship of design once again. Work on the development of life suggests that life is a simplification of surrounding environmental information, and therefore life does...

Demonstrate and evaluate lab activity about antimicrobial sensitivity

Valentina E. Koumpena, Panagiotis K. Stasinakis

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education > 50 > 6 > 592 - 599

Lab activities in primary and secondary education are essential to promote students' scientific skills. In this article, we propose a lab activity where different antimicrobial agents are used to the microorganisms' susceptibility to them. Moreover, we produce a rubric, a scoring tool, to quantify students' replies and evaluate the whole activity. We concluded that using the scoring rubric, we have...

Broadening a nature of science conceptualization: Using school biology textbooks to differentiate the family resemblance approach

Bianca Reinisch, Kristina Fricke

Science Education > 106 > 6 > 1375 - 1407

Previous research about the presence of nature of science (NOS) within science textbooks has been found to be lacking in sufficient coverage. However, given the shift in how scholars conceive of NOS, the shortcomings may not be present in the textbooks but rather in the NOS frameworks used to analyze textbooks. Whereas traditional NOS has taken a more generalized approach to describing scientific...

“Students were just sticky notes on JamBoard”: A first‐year biology teacher's story of 2020–2021

Molly H. Weinburgh

School Science and Mathematics > 122 > 5 > 235 - 246

For decades, a student's preparation for licensure to teach has been rather standard with increased time in field placements culminating with a semester of student teaching. During the Spring 2020, this changed for preservice students scheduled to “student teach.” Due to COVID‐19, schools closed for several weeks and re‐opened online. The current wisdom on student teaching and induction is based on...

Phenology of the semiaquatic caterpillar Paracles klagesi and its response to environmental changes

Iasmim De‐Freitas, Drielly Queiroga, Vanessa Stefani

Austral Ecology > 47 > 5 > 1113 - 1123

Phenological patterns can arise as a response to seasonal variation and are closely related to rain regimes and temperature. Organisms living in the water/atmosphere interface receive stimuli from both environments and require adaptations to survive. Paracles klagesi (Rothschild, 1910) is a semiaquatic caterpillar with a terrestrial adult form found in streams in a Brazilian savannah. We hypothesized...

Life history of Laccophilus lewisioides Brancucci, 1983 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) and the ecological significance of the larval period of five Laccophilus species

Kohei Watanabe

Entomological Science > 25 > 2 > n/a - n/a

Dytiscidae are the largest aquatic group belonging to the order Coleoptera. However, approximately 40% of Dytiscidae members have been threatened with extinction in Japan, and Laccophilus is one of the genera with considerable decline. A description of the life history of these species and their ecological information will contribute to their conservation. In this study, I described the life history...
