This Click & Learn shows that keystone species exist across a variety of ecosystems and can exert their influence in different ways.

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 interactive module allows students to collect and analyze data from a virtual river to construct biomass and energy pyramids.

This short video explores the symbiotic relationship between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and light-producing bacteria.

This interactive module explores niche partitioning, a mechanism that enables similar species of animals to coexist.

This short video explores the secrets behind termites’ power to digest an abundant source of food: wood.

This short video explores the symbiotic relationship between giant tube worms and species of chemosynthetic bacteria.

This short video explores the mechanism by which a beewolf wasp passes antibiotic-producing bacteria to its offspring.

This interactive module connects to an online citizen science platform for identifying animals in photos collected by trail cameras in Darién and Soberanía National Parks in Panama.

This video follows ecologist Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell, who is studying how elephants can communicate over long distances using low-frequency sounds that travel both in the air and through the ground.

This interactive module explores how different animals — elephants, birds, and bats — have evolved distinct ways of using sound to communicate.
