| 2017-06-15 | "Trophic Cascades in Rivers" by Mary E. Power, PhDThe ecosystem of a river depends on complex interactions between primary producers, grazers, and predators, which in turn are determined both by the traits of the individual species involved and the phy... |

| 2016-03-10 | "Africa's Savanna Ecosystems" by Robert M. Pringle, PhDSavannas cover 20 percent of Earth’s surface and much of Africa. The patterns and processes that occur in this globally important biome illustrate core concepts in ecology. |
|
| 2016-03-10 | "Patterns in Nature" by Corina E. Tarnita, PhDRegular spatial patterns abound in natural systems. Understanding how patterns arise in ecosystems provides insights into how these ecosystems function. |
|
| 2016-03-10 | "How Species Coexist" by Robert M. Pringle, PhDLarge herbivores in the African savanna coexist by partitioning ecological niches by time, space, and diet. |
|
| 2016-03-10 | "Modeling Populations and Species Interactions" by Corina E. Tarnita, PhDGorongosa National Park in Mozambique provides several examples for how to model the growth of animal populations and then check the models against actual data. |
|
| 2016-03-10 | "Communities as Ecological Networks" by Robert M. Pringle, PhD and Corina E. Tarnita, PhDEcosystems include complex interactions between animals and plants, which can be measured experimentally and investigated using mathematical models. |
