Background: Research has suggested that applying the Sport Education Model (SEM) in Physical Education (PE) increases students' motivation. However, it is important to systematize this evidence to have a clearer idea. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the impact of the SEM on the students' motivation.

- There is a strong need to make it easier to share and reuse scientific data among different groups like schools, companies, and publishers.
- A new set of rules called the FAIR Data Principles has been created to help people make their data easier for both machines and humans to find and use.
- This document is the first official introduction to the FAIR Principles and explains why they are important and gives examples of how they are being used.
Across the globe, deserts and volcanic eruptions produce large volumes of atmospheric dust, and the amount of dust is predicted to increase with global warming. The effects of long-distance airborne dust inputs on ecosystem productivity are potentially far-reaching but have primarily been measured in soil and plants. Airborne dust could also drive distribution and abundance at higher trophic levels, but opportunities to explore these relationships are rare.

As population declines are most widely reported in species that are not advancing migration, there is an urgent need to identify the mechanisms facilitating and constraining these advances. Individual plasticity in timing of migration in response to changing climatic conditions is commonly proposed to drive these advances but plasticity in individual migratory timings is rarely observed.
