DIG into Data FMN (2018)

Overview

This is a completed Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN). FMNs are sustained, immersive, community-based professional development opportunities for faculty. FMNs support the adaptation and implementation of materials and/or instructional approaches in their classrooms. Learn more about FMNs.

Investigating Determinants of Richness in Ephemeral and Permanent Wetlands Using Linear Models in Shiny

Kristofor Voss

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Environment-Richness Relationships in Ephemeral and Permanent Wetlands: Guided Inquiry with Graph Interpretation (Abstract) | TIEE v1.0

This resource seeks to provide a quantitative platform by which students can be taught about interactive effects using the TIEE module created by Little (2018). Key to the adaptation is the use of a Shiny app to create figures and R output.

The nose knows: How tri-trophic interactions and natural history shape bird foraging behavior. An introduction to statistical analysis in animal behavior research

Julia Burrows

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: The nose knows: How tri-trophic interactions and natural history shape bird foraging behavior v1.0

Students investigate the role of olfaction and infochemicals on bird foraging behavior through two different quantitative activities where they generate hypotheses, create figures, conduct data analyses, and draw conclusions.

Data Management Adaptation: Correlating Forest Community Dynamics to Climate

Sarah McCarthy-Neumann

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Data Management using National Ecological Observatory Network's (NEON) Small Mammal Data with Accompanying Lesson on Mark Recapture Analysis v2.1

Students use vegetation structure data from the National Ecological Observatory Network to understand necessary steps of data management from data collection to data analysis by correlating vegetation biomass across nine forest sites to climate metrics.

Climate Change, Phenology, and Community Interactions: Helping students explore the complexity of changing ecosystems

John Doudna

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: The Biology of Climate Change: The effects of a changing climate on migrating and over-wintering species at a high-elevation field station v1.0

Students explore findings from long-term studies of migrating and hibernating animals at high elevation. Students then use this understanding to explore the phenology of species and possible mismatches for species that interact.

Developing quantitative skills for ecological data: the effects of climate warming on phenological variation and species interactions

Jill Hamilton, Zachary Tarble

Version: 1.0 Adapted From: The Biology of Climate Change: The effects of a changing climate on migrating and over-wintering species at a high-elevation field station v1.0

Students combine long-term observational data sets and experimental warming in an alpine meadow in Gothic, CO to test, evaluate, and interpret ecological data focusing on phenological variation and species interactions in a changing climate
