Improved Instruction for Undergraduate Ecology Laboratories

该项目旨在改善 生态学课程。新的实验室演习加强了 课程和项目本身允许包含两个 水生物取样技术实验室和一个实验室 利用便携式光合作用系统研究初级生产力。 正在进行计算机模拟以运行实验室 学生们以小组为单位工作，视频显微镜和视频 系统让学生接触到各种各样的抽样 程序和生境分析。还预期 该项目将大大加强生态学和 进化生物学

This project is designed to improve the laboratory component of the ecology course. New laboratory exercises have enhanced the course and the project itself is allowing the inclusion of two laboratories on aquatic sampling techniques, and a laboratory on primary productivity using a portable photosynthesis system. Computer simulations are being conducted to run laboratories with students working in teams, and videomicroscopy and video systems expose students to a wide variety of sampling procedures and habitat analyses. It is also expected that the project will significantly enhance other courses in ecology and evolutionary biology at the institution.
