In response to the question about resources for undergraduates about
how to read research papers critically:
Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE; tiee.ecoed.net) has
a Teaching section which includes many resources for ecology faculty.
There is an essay titled Helping Your Students Interpret Figures and
Tables: "Step One-Step Two"
(http://tiee.ecoed.net/teach/essays/figs_tables.html).
Another useful resource is the SERC site for geology faculty. For
instance, here is a URL about a peer review form for writing
research papers -
http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/peerreview/respaper.html. You could
modify this for reading research papers.
