Assessing student behaviors and motivation for actively learning biology
(2017-05)
Vision and Change states that one of the major changes in the way we design biology courses should be a switch in approach from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning and identifies active learning as a ...
Investigating the evolutionary origins and mechanisms underlying xenobiotic sensitivity using resurrection ecology
(2017-07)
Sensitivity to an organophosphate insecticide, chlorpyrifos, was evaluated in a resurrected population of Daphnia pulicaria; this population originated from a lake that has experienced over a century of cultural eutrophication. ...
Effect of social experience on behavior, stress hormone, and reproduction in native and invasive Anolis lizards.
(2017-05)
Invasive species damage ecosystems, economies, and human health. Understanding the traits that contribute to successful invasion improves our ability to identify and prevent future invasions before damage can occur. Anolis ...
Birds on birth control: The effects of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol on zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) courtship behavior, parental care, and stress physiology
(2017-07)
Hormones are key regulators of behavioral expression and reproductive investment. Individual behavioral expression can also reflect environmental influences, such as contaminant exposure. Many environmental contaminants ...
Latent effects of larval experience: The pervasive effects of tadpole predation risk on frog phenotype
(2017-05)
Predation risk influences prey phenotype. Predator-induced changes in prey behavior and morphology are hypothesized to be adaptive, as long as predation risk is constant. This restriction does not hold for organisms like ...
