Develop skills
- Analyse freshwater cell processes: connect low oxygen, stress, and organism health quickly.
- Map pond food webs: measure trophic roles, algal blooms, and ecosystem services.
- Design pond field studies: plan sampling, controls, replication, and time series.
- Measure and interpret data: DO, nutrients, chlorophyll-a, stats, and clear graphs.
- Assess rapid evolution: test genetic variation, plasticity, and selection in ponds.
