e-infrastructure case study - Archaeology
The eIUS project highlights the successful use of e-Infrastructure, in this case by archaeologists at University of Reading, who use a combination of online database, digital pens and visualisation software to analyse a Roman settlement in Silchester. The e-Infrastructure Use Cases and Service Usage Models (eIUS) Project is releasing short videos highlighting how advanced information technology (IT) is being used in academic research. Disciplines covered include archaeology, bioinformatics, mate

A Study of Gene Linkage and Mapping Using Tetrad Analysis in the Fungus Sordaria fimicola
This laboratory focuses on some aspects of spore color determination in the fungus Sordaria fimicola. Tetrad analysis of asci from a cross between strains mutant for two spore color genes is used to determine if the genes are linked and to map the location of each gene relative to the centromere. This laboratory is logistically simple and inexpensive, the data are relatively easy to collect, and the analysis facilitates a good understanding of meiosis and Mendel's principles of inheritance.

A Field Study of the Ant Trail Phenomenon
In this exercise, students place food at various distances from an ant hill or nest. Ants are then observes as they find the bait and lead other ants to it. At the completion of the exercise, students construct a graph which shows the establishment of trails, recruitment of workers, and depletion of the bait.
A Field Study of Interspecific Relationships
This exercise can be used to study population ecology, food webs and trophic levels. It is meant to give students a better understanding of the interrelatedness of organisms in a community by studying several common local relationships.
