  5. Building Successful Online Communities: Evidence-Based Social Design

    24 Feb 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Robert E. Kraut, Paul Resnick

    "What does social science tell us about how to make thriving online communities? Quite a lot, it turns out - but only if we listen very closely and, at times, employ a translator." - Kraut and Resnick 2012

  6. POPULUS Evolutionary forces

    03 Feb 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Jonathan M. Brown

    This lab is focused on understanding how evolutionary forces - including mutation, genetic drift, migration, and selection - result in changes in population allele frequencies.  

  7. Population Growth

    30 Jan 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Miles Silman

    Lab exercise in which students model both discrete and continuous density-independent growth. Students also model discrete and time-lagged density-dependent growth. General questions are provided at the end.

  8. Lotka-Volterra, the logistic equation, and Isle Royale

    30 Jan 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Stephen Malcolm

    Students work through the basic Lotka-Volterra predator prey model using an example in which the prey exhibit density independence.  Students then incorporate density dependence of prey items using several different features of Populus.

  9. POPULUS Genetic Drift Computer Simulation

    30 Jan 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Joanna Vondrasek, Janis Antonovics, Doug Taylor

    A stand-alone lab exercise developed for the Evolution course at the University of Virginia. Explores the effects of population size and initial allele frequency on the loss/fixation of alleles.
