Of Newts and Neurotoxins: Coevolution in a Predator-Prey System Provides a Multifaceted Backdrop for Engaging Students

Matthew R. Fisher
Journal: The American Biology Teacher
The American Biology Teacher (2022) 84 (2): 60–67.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2022.84.2.60
Published: 01 February 2022
... of a deadly neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin (TTX) as an antipredator defense. Some species of newts contain TTX in their tissues, but resistance to TTX has developed through convergent evolution in garter snakes and other species. TTX resistance results from mutated voltage-gated sodium channels...

Spreading Disease – It's Contagious! Using a Model & Simulations to Understand How Antibiotics Work

Eva M. Ogens, Richard Langheim
Journal: The American Biology Teacher
The American Biology Teacher (2016) 78 (7): 568–574.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2016.78.7.568
Published: 01 September 2016
...Eva M. Ogens; Richard Langheim We describe how to enable students to learn about the transmission of disease, resistant bacteria, and the importance of taking a “full course” of antibiotics by developing models and simulations to represent the growth and demise of bacteria. By doing...
