- Regression and Patterns of Bird Species In this lab, students analyze data on bird species found in regions of the Andes Mountains. Students use a linear regression analysis to determine which of the physical descriptive data categories (Area, base altitude, elevation, etc.) best explains the total number of species found in each region.

- One Way ANOVA - Animal Genome Sizes Using the Animal Genome Size Database found at http://www.genomesize.com/ select data on the genome size (measured in picograms of DNA per haploid cell or c value) of crustaceans. The cause of variation in genome size has been a puzzle for a long time; use these data to answer the biological question of whether some families of crustaceans have different genome sizes than others. Export to excel and group by class. Test the assumptions and run a one way anova to look for differences amongst families.
