New research shows that when women feel outnumbered, their academic performance expectations and actual performance decreases. Squeezing Out Dune Plants: Coastal Erosion, Global Sea-level Rise, And
Researchers from Texas A&M University created a model to better understand the impacts of development and coastal erosion on plant communities, including plants that grow in the ever-shrinking strip of habitat between land and the ocean. Rusty Feagin, Douglas Sherman, and William Grant simulated varying levels of sea-level rise to understand the effects of erosion and development on sand dune plants. Their research appears in the September issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. Nue Satisfies Like an Alien Lover
