Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Ticks act as vectors for many zoonotic pathogens and are an increasing threat to human and animal health, but tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) are not the only important residents inside ticks; they coexist with many other microorganisms. Tick microbial communities can affect tick health and immunity, and they can also interact directly with tick-borne pathogens. A recent study sought to characterize tick-borne microbes and their temporal dynamics and interactions. Using high-throughput sequencing, researchers studied the dynamics of microbes in specimens of the tick species Ixodes ricinus collected over 3 years in a peri-urban forest. They found that around 75% of sequences belonged to maternally inherited bacterial genera. The structure of the tick microbiota varied over time, with the greatest changes driven by environmental microbes..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

What Is Biodiversity?

0.0 stars

Biodiversity is the spectacular variety of life on Earth and the essential interdependence among all living things. Students begin to learn about the term biodiversity at its most basic level. On their first field trip, students observe a natural space and report on what they see. They also begin to see the need for keeping written records and how to make scientific observations of their site. A series of optional mapping activities are presented that develop the skills required to create detailed and representational maps derived from observations and data.
