Introduction to extinctions and extinction bias
Students will be introduced to different factors that might affect extinction risk and will work with data on artiodactyls (even-toed, hoofed mammals, such as cows, sheep, deer, antelope, and giraffes) to investigate some of these hypotheses.

Tree of Life: Biodiversity
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
