In this Click & Learn, students explore mathematical models that describe how populations change over time and apply these models to the invasive lionfish population in the Bahamas. They also use data from other species to learn how density-dependent factors limit population size.

This video case study explores whether elephants can detect, interpret, and respond to signals delivered by underground vibrations.

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

This interactive simulation allows students to explore two classic mathematical models that describe how populations change over time: the exponential and logistic growth models.

This interactive module explores examples of how changes in one species can affect species at other trophic levels and ultimately the entire ecosystem.

This interactive module allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.

This interactive simulation allows students to graph and analyze sample distributions taken from a normally distributed population.

This tutorial describes the principles of DNA sequencing and sequence assembly, and shows how they apply to different sequencing techniques.

This tutorial describes how DNA microarrays called Virochips are designed to detect known viruses and discover new ones.

This tutorial explains how scientists analyze and interpret the large data sets generated by DNA microarrays.

This tutorial describes how scientists determined that all living humans originated from populations in Africa. Some of these populations migrated out of Africa less than 100,000 years ago.

This interactive, modular lab explores the techniques used to identify different types of bacteria based on their DNA sequences.
