Ecosystem with Adaptation

Los Angeles River Virtual Tour "Like modern-day Louis and Clark explorers, you will be able to digitally navigate the river from the head waters in the San Fernando Valley to the mouth of river in Long Beach, over 50 miles away. This will be a descriptive tour, showing you samples of the sights, plants, animals, architecture, and history along the way. There are eleven stopping points along the tour..."

EXPLORER science curriculum K-12 - University of Kansas

Animal Diversity Web - University of Michigan Museum of Zoology
"The Animal Diversity Web is a collection of pictures and information about animals. Accounts of individual species include information on distributions, natural history, conservation, and economic importance, along with pictures and sounds if available. Synopses of some higher taxonomic groups are also provided."

Mallard Duck Tracker 1997 - Ducks Unlimited Canada
"This year we are excited to bring two new research sites to you. One site is located in Saskatchewan, the other in Ontario. This summer you will be able to follow the fate of 10 mallard hens in a 4 sq. mile block on each of the study sites. You'll be able to compare the success of their nesting attempts, where their nests are located, how many are lost to predation, and how many are able to raise a brood successfully. "

Cliff Ecology - Cliff Ecology Research Group, University of Guelph, Canada
Plants, animals, etc.

ITDC Webquest - Environmental Issues  Is there a relationship between the ozone layer and phytoplankton? What effects would changes in the ozone layer have on Antarctica's penguin population?  Investigate the Antarctic ecosystem; determine if there could be a relationship between the depletion of high altitude ozone and a decline in the penguin population; propose three actions that would most effectively prevent the depletion of high altitude ozone layer; present your findings to the International Symposium on Environmental Issues.

Theoretical Ecology: Predator-Prey & Plant-pollinator Simulation Server - Theoretical Ecology, U. Lund, Sweden
"Interactively investigate the behaviour of ecological models. Currently the server contains only a simple Lotka-Volterra predator-prey system (standard theory for more than sixty years), but it is our intention to develop it further to an educational tool that we hope might be useful for undergraduate training in theoretical ecology, and possibly other mathematically oriented sciences. Most of the graphics generated by this server is on the fly, while you are waiting."
