Description

This lesson plan provides a comprehensive approach to understanding urban biodiversity through the lens of bird populations, particularly focusing on forest and synanthropic birds as indicators of habitat quality across different neighborhoods. By utilizing bird abundance as a proxy, students will engage in critical thinking about the socioecological implications of urban green amenities.

Moreover, the lesson aims to familiarize students with key hypotheses such as redlining, luxury, and legacy effects, shedding light on the complex interplay between socioeconomic factors and avifauna distribution. Through this exploration, students will not only deepen their understanding of urban biodiversity but also sharpen their skills in constructing and interpreting linear models and conducting ANOVA to assess variable interactions. This multifaceted approach equips students with both theoretical knowledge and practical analytical skills essential for comprehending and addressing urban ecological dynamics.
