Impact of differential item functioning on item model fit using concurrent equating method by Zeynep Uzun, Tuncay Öğretmen

“…However, it was observed that the presence of DIF did not significantly impact the equating results when common items that did not function equivalently across forms were removed. When item fit to the model was evaluated in concurrent estimations across countries, the UK emerged as the sample where items best fit the model for Form 2. …”

Nutrient connectivity via seabirds enhances dynamic measures of coral reef ecosystem function. by Cassandra E Benkwitt, Anna Zora, Ameer Ebrahim, Rodney Govinden, Ines D Lange, Sean Evans, Melissa Schulze, Emma Cotton, Lucie Bennett, Nicholas A J Graham

“…Cross-ecosystem nutrient fluxes can influence recipient food webs, including both static measures of structure and dynamic measures of function. However, a mechanistic basis for how nutrient subsidies affect both structure and function across multiple trophic levels is still lacking. …”

Identification of degradation risk areas and delineation of key ecological function areas in Qinling region by Xiaojuan Xu, Dayi Lin, Yue Yang, Jing Liu, Changxin Zou, Naifeng Lin, Fusheng Jiao, Qian Wu, Jie Qiu, Kun Zhang

“…The core areas for water and soil conservation only accounted for 17.92% and 10.47%, respectively, mainly distributed across the Qinling-Daba Mountains. Based on ecological patterns, quality, functions, and ecological protection and restoration projects, the Qinling region has been divided into two majority categories and 16 subcategories: 7 ecologically key functional areas and 9 degradation risk areas. …”
