Back to the future: Exploring riverine macroinvertebrate communities' invasibility

Predicting River Macroinvertebrate Communities Distributional Shifts under Future Global Change Scenarios in the Spanish Mediterranean Area

Several studies on global change over the next century predict increases in mean air temperatures of between 1°C to 5°C that would affect not only water temperature but also river flow. Climate is the predominant environmental driver of thermal and flow regimes of freshwater ecosystems, determining survival, growth, metabolism, phenology and behaviour as well as biotic interactions of aquatic f...

Back to the Future: What Learning Communities Offer to Medical Education

Learning communities (LCs) have increasingly been incorporated into undergraduate medical education at a number of medical schools in the United States over the past decade. In an Association of Medical Colleges survey of 140 medical schools, 102 schools indicated that they had LC (described as colleges or mentorship groups; https://www.aamc.org/initiatives/cir/425510/19a.html). LCs share an ov...

Back to the Evolutionary Future

Many books on evolution focus on the distant past or the present. Very few authors addressing a lay audience present what evolutionary changes may look like in the future. Coker has done so in this popular science book intended for a general audience. Basing the text on his similarly named course given at Elon University, the author provides a fascinating account of diverse aspects of evolution...
