   This resource has been updated - find the current version here: https://qubeshub.org/qubesresources/publications/787These are resources associated with using Pokemon Go to teach concepts in Ecology.  They can be used from Introductory non-majors classes up through graduate classes.

4. Population Growth

   out of 5 stars 

   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. POPULUS Evolutionary forces

   out of 5 stars 

   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.  

6. POPULUS Genetic Drift Computer Simulation

   out of 5 stars 

   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.  

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