Painting turtles: an introduction to species distribution modeling in R
Cooperative learning: Students can work through the exercises in groups, using either the painted turtle data
or group-specific taxa (i.e., each group selects a taxon to model). This module addresses multiple, complex
concepts online data availability & access, spatial query & analysis, global climate models, theoretical
concepts of SDMs, model fitting any of which can be expanded depending...

How do pawpaws affect tree regeneration?
In this study, students investigate whether and how much the native understory shrub pawpaw (Asimina triloba) may affect tree regeneration in a forested habitat. During one lab period in the field, they collect data on the densities of tree seedlings and saplings under varying densities of pawpaws. During a second lab period in a classroom, they test whether tree densities are lower under...

The nose knows: How tri-trophic interactions and natural history shape bird foraging behavior
This dataset is designed for first-year biology students, but can be altered for upper-level
students. After receiving sufficient background on the biology of King penguins, students must
make hypotheses regarding the penguins sensitivity to an odor known to be associated with the
primary productivity of the ocean. Students are given multiple data sets and need to analyze the
data using a...

Metabolic ecology: How do body size and temperature affect nutrient cycling rates?
In this TIEE dataset, students answer the question of whether nutrient cycling (excretion) rates of fish in lakes scale with body size and temperature as predicted by The Metabolic Theory of Ecology.
Students use data on the nitrogen and phosphorus excretion rates of fish to test hypotheses related to metabolic ecology.
