Isotope and stomach content data from piscivorous reservoir fishes collected from Hills Creek (isotopes; 43°40′16″N 122°25′33″W) and Lookout Point (isotopes and stomach contents; 43°53′48″N 122°43′34″W) reservoirs located on the Middle Fork Willamette River, Oregon. Additional details can be found in the related publication.
Isotope sampling was conducted under OSU Institutional...
Select an “Invader” species found in the Pacific Northwest. Research, design, publish and present a high quality informative Not Wanted Poster/Product.
In this fun activity, students guess answers to clues about invasive species on a bingo-like game-board, and serves as a great introduction for students and teachers alike.
(Same lesson plan as Myocaster Multiplier but a more challenging student activity.)
This more advanced version of Myocastor multiplier asks students to take into account predation when calculating population growth rate.
How big can a nutria population get? In this activity, students calculate and graph the growth rate of a population of nutria based on a set of realistic assumptions.
Students practice geographical skills to map the routes of invasive species from their native habitat to some of the regions to which the exotics have spread.
Students conduct a "blitz" by quickly rotating through hands-on specimen stations and answering the BioBlitz questions. Then, students are assigned one invader to research more thoroughly and present to the class.
In Design the Ultimate Invader, students use their imagination to design the ultimate invasive species. This activity is a perfect way to launch a unit on invaders, and can serve as an assessment tool to help us learn the knowledge of our learners towards invasive species and invasion biology.
