  1. POPULUS Lotka - Volterra, the logistic equation & Isle Royale

    13 Feb 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Stephen Malcolm

    Laboratory exercise explores predator-prey dynamics using Populus.

  2. POPULUS Simulations of interspecific competition using the Lotka-Volterra model

    13 Feb 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Scott Creel

    Explores the Lotka-Volterra model of interspecific competition using Populus.  

  3. 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.  

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. CATALST - Change Agents for Teaching and Learning Statistics

    22 Jan 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Joan Garfield, Robert delMas, Andrew Zieffler, Allan Rossman, Beth Chance, John Holcomb, George Cobb

    From the project website: "This project uses the acronym CATALST (Change Agents for Teaching and Learning Statistics) to represent the goal of accelerating change in the teaching and learning of statistics. The changes we are working towards are in both content and pedagogy. Our focus is the...

  9. AIMS- Analyzing Images to learn Mathematics and Statistics - studying leaf cutter ants to learn linear regression

    15 Jan 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Jeremy M Wojdak

    This resource has been updated - find the current version here: https://qubeshub.org/publications/239This is a teaching resource that uses fascinating images and videos of leaf cutter ants foraging in Panama to provide an engaging context for students to learn about mathematics and...
