This is a collection of materials you might use during the "lecture" period of a parasitology class. 

This is a collection focused on the quantitative aspects of parasitology, epidemiology, and disease ecology. 

This collection is to be used to help teach  ​A Walk Through the Woods

This collection is to be used to help teach Survivorship in the Natural World.

This collection is to be used to help teach the module Staying Alive: Extinction Risk: Introduction to Extinction and Extinction Bias

Links of interest regarding web/page design, including:

• Web development
• UXD (User Experience Design), also called UX for short
• UID (User Interface Design), also called UI for short

This is a collection of some neat resources for food and agricultural systems.

Papers depicting the many biological applications of agent-based modeling.  

These are the documents that are currently driving the conversation in undergraduate biology education.

This collection is a place to share laboratory exercises and activities - student instructions, keys to organisms, assignments, etc. 

This collection is a place to share and exchange images of parasites for use in teaching materials.

This is a place to contribute resources, tools, and assessments that address the following learning outcomes under the broad theme of biodiversity.

Students are able to:

1. Describe the molecular and structural unity of life

2. Explain the role of endosymbiosis and horizontal gene transfer in the origins of the major lineages.

3. Justify why biodiversity is important to humans.

4. Compare the general characteristics of major lineages in evolutionary history

5. Summarize the role of extinction in shaping patterns of biodiversity

This is part of the Tree of Life working group. Click here to read about our general goals and framework.

This is a place to contribute resources, tools, and assessments that address the following learning outcomes under the broad theme of speciation.

Students are able to:

1. Illustrate how divergence in phenotype may lead to reproductive isolation

2. Recognize that species are dynamic entities, and compare the theoretical and practical uses of multiple species concepts

3. Interpret visual representations of speciation events

This is a place to contribute resources, tools, and assessments that address the following learning outcomes under the broad theme of mechanisms of evolution.  

Students are able to:

1. Demonstrate how morphological evolution results from a subset of molecular evolution

2. Compare and contrast the likelihood of phenotypic and genotypic convergence

3. Demonstrate how evolutionary changes are constrained by existing genotypic and phenotypic variation.

4. Recognize that evolution occurs in an environment that varies over space and time.

5. Evaluate the relative importance of abiotic versus biotic factors on selection

6. Recognize and compare multiple evolutionary solutions to similar environmental challenges

papers and undergrad (upper div) HER2 research proposals

There are several collections of materials that are relevant to this meeting that are living in other groups. 

This collection includes various textbooks for new users of the statistical software and language R. 

I'm repurposing a list I put together for a graduate student recently. 

Let's use this as a place to share resources that we have created to teach quantitative biology AND that are related to the papers we discuss.

"Cheat sheets" for faculty preparing to teach a mathematical model in Populus.

Many participants were familiar with simulation software and activities that did NOT use Populus. They shared these resources with the group during our Google Hangout sessions. The resources are archived in this collection.
