Take a look at this, kids! Visual literacy skills in the school curriculum KU Leuven
Although the paradigm of visual literacy (VL) is rapidly emerging, the construct itself still lacks operational specificity.

A qualitative curriculum analysis based on this framework ...

A phylogeny of Cichlidogyrus spp. (Monogenea, Dactylogyridea) clarifies a host-switch between fish families and reveals an adaptive component to attachment organ morphology of this parasite genus KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Parasite switches to new host species are of fundamental scientific interest and may be considered an important speciation mechanism. For numerous monogenean fish parasites, infecting different hosts is associated with morphological adaptations, in particular of the attachment organ (haptor). However, haptoral morphology in Cichlidogyrus spp. (Monogenea, Dactylogyridea), parasites of African cichlids, has been mainly linked to ...
