I get to teach a "Dynamic Ecology" undergrad class next semester that blends data analytics and ecology concepts. We will explore concepts and measures for short-term, long-term, and deep-time changes.
(yes I know it is the same name as a famous blog, but that's what stuck!).
Does anyone else teach a course like this who'd be willing to chat about it or share a syllabus? I have a good outline for what I think I'd like to try, but this is a totally new prep and I'm both nervous and excited!
Labs will be 3 big projects + 3 field trips + final poster.
Other than reading papers and case studies, are there any good basic textbooks or book chapters I should be aware of? Popular nonfiction books? Documentaries? It's an elective so I have a lot of freedom to decide what we will do, with a mix of Biology and Data Analytics majors!
I am having very mixed feelings about using twitter these days.
But, has anyone found a good alternative? I haven't figured out mastodon yet. I found my scientific community here to be SO helpful for the past 10 years as I navigated grad school, postdoclife, and tenure track.
@coereba@KenyonCollege We have lots of Black Vultures @DenisonU too and I love them so much!
They do look fairly menacing on my walk in every morning. Usually menacingly perched on the freshmen dorms with a sense of foreboding...
How are abundance, evenness and richness interrelated in biodiversity change comparisons across time and space? It's complicated. Our Concepts/Synthesis paper @ESAEcology is now typeset and Open Access.

I am happy to answer questions or chat more! Come join me here!
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! Names and class details due today -- lots of good things to consider here for a Biology and Data Analytics cross-listed course!
Who likes coming up with names for classes? 🙋♀️ Not me. I'm teaching a new undergrad elective next term - focus on long-term data and ways of measuring ecological change; seasonal, decades, and deeper-time. Introductory data literacy and analysis skills included. Any great ideas?
