Lidar remote sensing, which uses laser pulses to measure three-dimensional structure, has become essential across natural science disciplines. However, undergraduate students typically receive limited, if any, exposure to this technology and rarely have opportunities to experience it. Experiential and multi-modal courses may be ideal for…

Wildlife-human relations in the United States are predominantly influenced by Euro-American sociocultural dynamics and (neo)colonial legacies. Humans dominate nonhuman animals through violence, suffering, and death. Wildlife management as a practice is becoming increasingly criticized. Disagreement emerges from epistemological and ontological…

Hayes, Daniel B. – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
A simple exercise of active listening to bird vocalizations in a natural setting was evaluated in an introductory class (FW101L) at Michigan State University. This class is geared toward first- or second-year students and is intended to broaden their skills and knowledge as naturalists. This activity is shown to have a lasting impact on students…

Jennifer Riedl Cross – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2025
Through the lens of the talent development megamodel and the higher mastery framework, this instrumental case study examines the career trajectory of a biological anthropologist, Barbara J. King, who became a persuasive science communicator in the struggle for animal justice. Much of her impact stems from her development in two career paths, one…

Benjamin Andrew Ha – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Contributions to conservation biology research are traditionally approached from an ecology and evolutionary biology perspective, but education research can be equally valuable. Population genetics research can inform management decision-making while education research can improve how we teach conservation. My dissertation tackles conservation…

We developed and field-tested an active learning exercise designed to provide biology students with the opportunity to consider key aspects of the nature of science as a method of inquiry, particularly the roles of observation and inference in the development of scientific explanations and how scientists deal with uncertainty. In the activity…

Ortiz, Janel L.; Conkey, April A. Torres; Brennan, Leonard A.; Fedynich, LaVonne; Green, Marybeth – Natural Sciences Education, 2020
We incorporated a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) into a Wildlife Management Techniques course to improve student skills and confidence in bird identification and research, study design, and scientific writing. The course objective was to provide hands-on experiences for students and give them exposure to field methods used…

Valdivieso-Rivera, Fernando; Almeida, José Rafael; Proaño-Bolaños, Carolina – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Laboratory-based "practical" classes are an essential component in teaching molecular biology for undergraduate students. Universidad Regional Amazonica Ikiam is a higher education institution located in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest, a high biodiversity place, including amphibians. Based on this, we have established a practical…

Darling, Randi A.; Smith, Alyssa; Mello, Alex – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2021
Many science departments encourage students to gain experience conducting research. However, finding ecological research projects that allow students to test a hypothesis in the field, over the relatively short time span of a semester, can be challenging. This article describes an inquiry-based research activity examining the influence that urban…

Schlosser, William E.; Aumell, Aidan J.; Kilkenny, Madison M. – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
University students stepped into synchronous remote learning as the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in spring 2020. Temporal limitations of the live field trip-based paradigm in teaching ecology have been complicated by remote learning. To meet the challenge, we have designed and deployed an immersive virtual ecology platform with associated field…

Nunes, Rhewter; de Bem Oliveira, Ivone; de Araújo Dias, Priscila; Bidinotto, Alexandre Borges; de Campos Telles, Mariana Pires – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
In this paper, we propose and describe a new approach, named BarcodingGO, to teach environmental DNA and bioinformatics concepts to undergraduate or graduate students in molecular biology-related fields. The learning pipeline proposed here aims to solve a simulated environmental monitoring problem, in which a biodiversity survey of a particular…

Lauren Amanda Hernandez-Rubio – ProQuest LLC, 2021
University programs with waterfowl teaching, research, and outreach in the United States and Canada have decreased from approximately 55 to 33 programs ([approximately]40%). A reduction in these programs may lead to a loss in professional capacity of waterfowl and wetlands specialists working for science and conservation of these resources. Three…

Sevilay Dervisoglu; Susanne Menzel – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Knowing the factors affecting fear of large carnivores is important for wildlife management and conservation. In this regard, the effect of worldviews of human-wildlife and human-nature relationships on the fear of large carnivores needs to be investigated in different cultures. In this study, the influence of wildlife value orientations (WVOs),…

Towner, Emil B. – Business and Professional Communication Quarterly, 2019
This study examines the effectiveness of images on warning signs that communicate risk and risk avoidance in public spaces. Specifically, I compared data from 749 survey responses to determine whether the use of images can increase the effectiveness of a warning sign in a public space. Although the findings indicate that image-based warning signs…

Thomas, Nicole Juliana; Vo, Tina – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2021
Natural Selection is prevalent throughout life science learning standards across K-12 contexts. Additionally, undergraduates who are interested in the fields of biology and education must also be well informed on the topic, as it is foundational to some biology research and necessary to touch upon within elementary and secondary classrooms. This…
