The classification of animal groups is essential to the development of modern biology—but it's extremely complicated. Trying ...

I once watched a board chair yawn at my slide. It was quiet and polite, like a man stuck in an elevator with bad music. The ...

Dr. Amy Baird, Professor of Biology at the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), and her colleagues are seeking to change the ...

This study explores the scientific and methodological foundations for integrating gamification and Bloom’s taxonomy into secondary computer science education through the development and testing of the ...

Abstract: Classifying educational questions into Bloom's Taxonomy levels is critical for developing intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive assessments, and personalized learning platforms. This task ...

Abstract: Modern education demands meticulous design of teaching and learning materials to foster effective learning. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are widely used in education worldwide due to ...

We may not be living through Earth’s sixth mass extinction event ­­— at least not yet. That’s the conclusion of a new analysis of plant and animal extinctions published September 4 in PLOS Biology.

While gut morphology has been suggested to play an important role, its influence has not been systematically validated across comprehensive gut types or broad mammalian taxonomic levels. Moreover, due ...

Conversely, a recent investigation studied the microbiota at a deeper taxonomy level using strain (one bacterial species can have several strains) analysis on a diverse cohort of 106 patients with ...

16S rRNA gene sequencing is pivotal for identifying bacterial species in microbiome studies, especially using the V3-V4 hypervariable regions. A fixed 98.5% similarity threshold is often applied for ...
