This film explores the foundational research in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, that uncovered many of the ecological principles that govern how animal populations and communities are regulated.

This film explores the species-area relationship, a general ecological rule that describes how the number of species in a habitat changes with area, and shows how it has been applied to the conservation of protected areas.

This asynchronous course is designed to deepen educators' content knowledge in evolution, especially regarding content appropriate for teaching at the high school level.

This video follows scientists working in Bangladesh as they test fruit bat populations to determine whether they are infected with Nipah virus, a potentially deadly human pathogen.

This video introduces the concept of niche partitioning with examples drawn from the African savanna.

This film tells the story of the ecologists who first documented the role of keystone species in ecosystem regulation.

This video describes the cutting-edge method of DNA metabarcoding and how it is used to study how animals partition resources in a shared habitat.

This film explores what our hair, teeth, and hearing reveal about our evolution from ancient reptilian ancestors.

This film explores how the genetic and anatomical legacy of a fish can be seen today in the human body.
