I've just spent about 15 minutes reviewing this lesson as part of a BIOME workshop. What a great set of resources. I'm particularly interested in the jigsaw activity interpreting the various graphs. I'm hoping that the concrete research context and narrative about the development of the experiment will help students connect with the concept of biodiversity and the metrics used to quantify it. Thanks for sharing this.

I am looking for resources to make the biological diversity part of intro bio course stronger. I need more time to look through the different parts of this module
