Ethnic Segregation In Arizona Charter Schools, Casey D. Cobb, Gene V. Glass

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

In 1996-97, Arizona had nearly one in four of all charter schools in the United States.

The Nature Of Science: A Perspective From The Philosophy Of Science, Juli T. Eflin, Stuart Glennan, George Reisch

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

In a recent article in this journal, Brian Alters (1997) argued that, given the many ways in which the nature of science (NOS) is described and poor student responses to NOS instruments such as Nature of Scientific Knowledge Scale (NSKS), Nature of Science Scale (NOSS), Test on Understanding Science (TOUS), and others, it is time for science educators to reconsider the standard lists of tenets for the NOS.

The Roles Of Island Area Per Se And Habitat Diversity In The Species-Area Relationships Of Four Lesser Antillean Faunal Groups, Robert Ricklefs, Irby Lovette

Biology Department Faculty Works

1. We analysed the relationships between species richness, island area, and habitat diversity for birds, bats, butterflies, and reptiles and amphibians on 19 islands in the Lesser Antilles. Habitat diversity was quantified by Simpson's index based on the total areas of five vegetation types on each island. Island area varied over two orders of magnitude (13–1510 km2) and habitat diversity varied between 1 and 3·7 equivalents of equally abundant habitat types.2. Because the Lesser Antilles consist of an inner arc of high, volcanic islands and an outer arc of low‐lying islands formed of uplifted marine sediments, correlations between area and …
