In this lesson, students will learn about the exotic European honeybee (Apis mellifera), and why they are considered an important pollinator. They will be prompted to think about the impacts of urbanization and how to may favor one species over another. They will also use R and data from the focal paper to complete a statistical analysis.

Description

Using data from the focal paper "Does urbanization favour exotic bee species? Implications for the conservation of native bees in cities" students will test the effect of urbanization on per-site exotic and native bee richness using generalized linear models (GLMs) fit with a Poisson distribution.
