Microbiome analysis of monarch butterflies reveals effects of development and diet Open
Diet profoundly influences the composition of an animal’s microbiome, especially in holometabolous insects, offering a valuable model to explore the impact of diet on gut microbiome dynamics throughout metamorphosis. Here, we use monarch b…
Biomass distribution and activity of respective subsurface sediments and groundwater within a shallow subsurface ecosystem Open
Subsurface environments represent diverse microbial communities responsible for mediating biogeochemical cycles linked to the turnover of organic and inorganic carbon important to groundwater used by human society for consumption, irrigati…

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1128/jmbe.00190-21.].
Professional Development for Early Career DBER Scholars through In-Person and Virtual Career Panel Workshops Open
In discipline-based education research (DBER), early career scholars, such as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, observe a slew of possible career pathways. Yet, there is a lack of opportunities to learn about such pathways, p…
BeanBeetleMicrobiome app: an online app for community analysis of microbiome data Open
With decreases in the cost of next-generation sequencing and advances in computational approaches, microbiome research has exploded.Consequently, microbiome research has become both feasible and accessible for undergraduate laboratory cour…
Teaching the Bean Beetle Microbiome CURE in an Online Format Open
Most course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are designed as immersive, inclass research activities.The bean beetle microbiome CURE is no different in this regard.However, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, sudden c…
Comparison of Published Assessments of Biological Experimentation as Mapped to the ACE-Bio Competence Areas Open
One of the main challenges in teaching of experimentation is effective assessment, specifically, identifying appropriate assessment instruments and identifying aspects being assessed. In an effort to facilitate appropriate use of assessmen…
Analysis of Microbiomes Using Free Web-Based Tools in Online and In-Person Undergraduate Science Courses Open
Our understanding of microbiomes, or the collection of microorganisms and their genes in a given environment, has been revolutionized by technological and computational advances. However, many undergraduate students do not get hands-on exp…
The Bean Beetle Microbiome Project: A Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience in Microbiology Open
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are an effective means of transforming the learning and teaching of science by involving students in the scientific process. The potential importance of the microbiome in shaping both…
