The Positive Effect Of Role Models In Evolution Instruction, Emily A. Holt, T. Heath Ogden, Susan L. Durham Dec 2017

The Positive Effect Of Role Models In Evolution Instruction, Emily A. Holt, T. Heath Ogden, Susan L. Durham

T. Heath Ogden

 Background: Previous research has identified numerous factors to explain why students have difficulty learning
about evolution. Some of these factors include a student’s background (including their religion and major of study),
the type of evolution instruction, and the inclusion of the nature of science (NOS) instruction. Sparse but more recent
work has investigated the impact of a religious-scientist role model to help dampen perceptions of conflict between
evolutionary science and worldview. We had two research goals: (1) to identify which of these factors influence
students’ learning of evolution in post-secondary education; and (2) to describe the relationships among incoming
biology …

Life’S A Beach: Using Role-Playing Scenarios To Facilitate Water Quality Studies, Supplementary Materials, Christie Sampson, Lauren Garcia-Chance, Erica Linard Dec 2017

Life’S A Beach: Using Role-Playing Scenarios To Facilitate Water Quality Studies, Supplementary Materials, Christie Sampson, Lauren Garcia-Chance, Erica Linard

Christie Sampson

This packet includes the supplementary materials associated with the role-playing exercise developed by the What's in Our Waters outreach program.

1. The environmental consulting scenario- this document explains the activity to the students, provides
instructions on how to play the game, and gives an example worksheet that can be used alongside the
activity.
2. Water quality test descriptions- this provides descriptions of the different tests the students can
purchase and what can cause changes in the variables being tested.
3. Water quality tests fee schedule- the amount each team must pay per test per site.
4. Water quality testing limits- …

Plastron Pigmentation Variation In A Coastal Turtle Species Of Conservation Concern (Malaclemys Terrapin), Beth Reinke, Steven Pearson, Will Selman Dec 2017

Plastron Pigmentation Variation In A Coastal Turtle Species Of Conservation Concern (Malaclemys Terrapin), Beth Reinke, Steven Pearson, Will Selman

Beth Reinke

Malaclemys terrapin inhabits salt marshes of the coastal United States and has been historically divided into seven subspecies. Two of the described subspecies, M. t. pileata and M. t. littoralis, occur along the western and eastern coastlines of Louisiana, respectively. To better understand potential boundaries of these two subspecies, we documented pigmentation variation of the plastron along the coast of Louisiana where the subspecies supposedly intergrade. Photographs of the plastron were taken of captured individuals and we quantified pigment with a photoprocessing software (ImageJ). We found pigmentation differences between sexes, with females having lighter plastrons than males. The plastron pigmentation …

Publication Overlap: Building An Academic House With Salami Shingles, Christine Urbanowicz, Beth Reinke Dec 2017

Publication Overlap: Building An Academic House With Salami Shingles, Christine Urbanowicz, Beth Reinke

Beth Reinke

Salami slicing, shingling, and meat extending are all fanciful terms for a thorny and often overlooked issue. Publication overlap—the presentation of redundant ideas or data in multiple papers by the same authors—is a practice that warrants serious discussion. When there is little to no publication overlap, the findings in one paper lead to new ideas and the collection of new data, producing a paper trail of scien- tific progress that moves the field forward (Fig. 1). At the other extreme, authors present the same text and data in two papers, which is usually a clear violation of journal copyright policies …
