This video follows an international team of researchers as they collect data to map migratory bird populations in the US and Mexico.

In this activity, students use an interactive tool to simulate how scientists collected and used sample data to estimate elephant population sizes.

This video follows germplasm bank coordinator Cristian Zavala Espinosa and geneticist Sarah Hearne, who are part of the global effort to preserve the genetic diversity of maize (corn).

This video follows biologist Elinor Karlsson, who studies dogs to find genes associated with traits, including certain diseases.

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

This video case study explores whether fungicides play a role in the decline of bee populations.

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 examine fossils of early humans and compare them to modern primates.

This video describes how indigenous communities from the tropical rainforest of Darién, Panama, use drones to map their lands. The communities use these maps to protect their territories from outside incursions and to design sustainable land-use plans.
