Gaiser, J. Christopher; Roberts, Michael F. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2022
We describe a novel, university-level, introductory biology course that uses evolution as a narrative framework. Our course conveys the content in an introductory biology course by telling the story of the evolution of life on Earth. We begin with early Earth environments in which biological molecules and processes evolved and led to the first…

Wise, Michael J.; Collins, Rachel – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2020
The protection of earth's biodiversity requires a sophisticated understanding of how human activities can affect the relative abundances of species in natural ecological communities. Here, we report on an introductory biology laboratory activity in which students quantified biodiversity while investigating one of the most important controls on the…
