1<p>Have long-term temperatures changed throughout Ohio? How will these temperature changes impact plant and animal phenology, ecological interactions, and, as a result, species diversity?</p>  1<p>The module was implemented at the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.njit.edu/" target="_blank">New Jersey Institute of Technology</a>&nbsp;by Caroline M.
