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

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 film begins with phenomena linked to climate change and then examines how Earth’s temperature is controlled, how we know it is changing, and how the current changes compare to those over the last 800,000 years.

The added information provided at pause points within the animation Coral Bleaching allows for a richer exploration of coral reefs, symbiosis, and other topics in biology.

This interactive module allows students and educators to build models that explain how the Earth system works. The Click & Learn can be used to show how Earth is affected by human activities and natural phenomena.

This short video explores how the symbiotic relationship between certain plants and fungi allows these organisms to survive in very hot temperatures.

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

This video describes the technology of metabarcoding, which allows scientists to determine herbivore diets based on the sequences of plant DNA extracted from animal dung.

This interactive module traces the evolutionary history of birds by comparing the bone structures of a chicken to those of other species.

This video describes the work of biologists Steve Palumbi and Megan Morikawa, who use field and controlled experiments to understand the mechanisms that allow some corals to tolerate a greater amount of heat stress than other corals.

This video follows biologist Liz Hadly in Yellowstone National Park as she discusses how ecosystems are threatened by warming temperatures.
