Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…<p>Identifying the mechanisms underlying the persistence of rare species has long been a motivating question for ecologists. Classical theory implies that community dynamics should be driven by common species, and that natural selection should not allow small populations of rare species to persist. …”

Delay-and-pay: prolonging pharmaceutical patent protection without paying the ‘price’ by Foss-Solbrekk, K

“…<p>This thesis argues that actors use the patent system as part of a ‘delay-and-pay’ strategy to preserve drug prices for as long as possible by delaying generic/biosimilar market entry – and that they have a significant incentive to do so. …”

Temporal variability in host availability alters the outcome of competition between two parasitoid species by Wang, H, Liu, T, Sun, S, Lewis, OT, Xi, X

“…The outcome of this interspecific competition depended on host temporal variability, with&nbsp;<em>T. drosophilae</em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>P. vindemiae</em>&nbsp;dominating in short and long host exposure treatments, respectively.</li> <li>These results can be explained by the combination of host availability and egg load of female adult parasitoids. …”

Student teachers learning to use Assessment for Learning in schools by Tan Chia Chun, D

“…Key findings from the final analyses were as follows: there was considerable variation in how the geography specialist teacher mentors interpreted and used AfL; some mentors were strongly mediating the AfL/AoL expectations evident in the school inspection system in England; there was evidence of some strong and challenging mentoring, but it was not consistent across the experiences of the students; the students' own sense of the kind of teacher they wanted to become could be tracked in ways which revealed how they coped with the different school demands and what they saw as university expectations; the transition between placement schools was significant for the student teachers in ways that had not been anticipated by the design of the programme.…”
