M. Kravchenko, D. Shabanov “Learning About Nature.” Textbook for Grade 5
The authors of “Batrachos,” as members of the Laboratory of Integrative Teaching of Natural Sciences at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, developed the textbook “Learning About Nature” for Grade 5 of the New Ukrainian School.
SexOnR–04_Selection. Four aspects of selection and an example of simulating differential mortality
The creation of the first model in R is described in detail. For now without sex.
SexOnR–02_R&other. R, RStudio, RMarkdown — first steps (R-handbook I)
The main tool that will be used in the course – is the R language. Here is a brief description of the main software tools that will be used for working with R.
SexOnR–07_Evolution. Evolution and sex (Problem description I)
To consider the evolution of sex, one must first understand how evolution actually works. The next step — understand what sex is
SexOnR–01_Keywords. Key Concepts of the Course: Explanations and References (Introduction)
Throughout this course we plan to explore curious phenomena through simulation modelling. First of all, it is necessary to clarify what and how we will be studying.
02.02.2022. Groundhog Day
A set of photographs from the eighteenth Groundhog Day in Haidary.
One and a Half Natures of Humans – 14. Questions About Female Reproductive Biology
https://batrachos.com/1_5_Nature_PromptAboutWomen The course is based on general material about the evolutionary mechanisms of behavior, but may also include discussion of the most interesting topic—our own traits and their causes. A good starting point is female reproductive biology.
Sustainable Use of Fisheries Resources. Variant I. Narrative
The same things can be explained in different ways. This page contains a text document introducing the problem of sustainable fish stock management.
Sustainable Use of Fisheries Resources. Variant IIa. Simulation Model in Google Sheets
The same things can be explained in different ways. This page presents a simulation model built in Google Sheets; working with it introduces the problem of sustaining fish stocks. Another way to explain the same topic is available here.
One and a Half Natures of Humans – 10. Lecture IX. Altruism
Altruistic behavior requires an evolutionary-biological explanation. Three selection models that may explain the evolution of altruism are discussed here.
Video Annotation of the Course “Evolution of Sex and Sexual Strategies: Simulation Modeling in R”
Video annotation of the course offered to students of all faculties for the spring semester of 2024.
Course Annotation “The Future of Humanity and the Biosphere: Depletion or Flourishing?”
The course “The Future of Humanity and the Biosphere: Depletion or Flourishing?” is offered for the second consecutive year in 2022. This page provides a brief description of the course and the planned lecture topics.
Annotation of the Interfaculty Course “Evolution of Sex and Sexual Strategies: Simulation Modeling in R”
Annotation of the interfaculty course offered in the spring semester of 2024.
One and a Half Human Natures – 09. Lecture VIII. Levels of Selection and the Invisible Head
The debate in biology over the levels of selection. The scenarios of the Invisible Hand, the Invisible Foot and the Invisible Head
Ecology: Biology of Interaction. VI-16. Scenarios of the Future
Let us consider two questions of fundamental importance. First: can we influence the probabilities of different scenarios for the development of humanity and the biosphere? Most likely yes. In any case, we have a broad arsenal of actions that can promote depletion scenarios — and, therefore, means to push development …
Ecology: biology of interaction. VI-20. (supplement) Principles of rational ecological ethics
Morality (from Lat. moralis — moral) is a set of culturally conditioned norms that determine which actions are socially approved, appropriate, and correct. The concept «ethics» (Greek ethos — custom, character) was introduced by Aristotle to characterize the properties...
