Assessing the Risk of Invasive Species Using Community Science Data part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Modules
Matthew Heard, Belmont University
This module introduces students who are already familiar with GIS to doing comparative analyses with large-scale community science (often called citizen science) data sets. Students will explore how we can use ...

How Do We Measure Biodiversity: Exploring Biodiversity Metrics Using Avian Communities part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Modules
Jeffrey Brown, Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus
This activity is designed to illustrate various ways that biodiversity can be measured and to highlight what we can learn about an ecological community from different metrics. Students will explore biodiversity metrics (i.e., species richness and Shannon diversity) using point count data on birds collected from the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research program. Specifically, students will investigate how bird richness and abundance have changed over time and create figures to compare abundance across landscapes and time.

Exploring diatom biodiversity in the Everglades and Caribbean wetlands part of Project EDDIE:Teaching Materials:Modules
Katherine Johnson, Florida International University; Gabriel Kamener, Florida International University
Water quality assessments frequently include biological indicators to evaluate aquatic ecosystem habitat type and health. Because diatoms are ubiquitous and are found in habitats where macroinvertebrates are not, ...

Patterns of Herpetofauna Biodiversity using HerpMapper part of BASICS:Teaching Materials:The Wicked Problem of an Equitable Zero-Waste Circular Economy:Course-Specific Exercises
Richard Phillips, Wittenberg University
HerpMapper is a community science application that allows the public to submit records of amphibians and reptiles to contribute to our knowledge on their distribution and a lesser extent their abundance. To submit ...
