Bring researchers into your classroom and give students a window into the process of scientific inquiry. Join us for an informal chat with researchers studying the various ways herbivores like deer, elephants, and bison are impacting their ecosystems in Kansas, New York, and South Africa. Find out who they are, how they got interested in ecology, and the research questions they are asking. Instructor Guide and Event Resources available.
In this event, researchers will talk about their work on how white-tailed deer impact forested habitats, the extent and consequence of herbivory in African savannas, and how bison affect tallgrass prairie flora, fauna, microbes, and soil.
“Live from the Field” events are 50-minute events where researchers with three field sites describe their interests and research in 8-minute videos, then participants join a live moderated Q&A session with the researchers. Events are recorded for asynchronous instructional use, and available to all at thevirtualfield.org/virtual-visits/live-from-the-field
