Dear ECOLOG, This email is aimed at those of you teaching classes (undergrad or grad) right now, who might be interested in contributing to our study by passing along a survey to your students.
We are investigating perceptions of biodiversity, by asking people how many species they can discern among suites of superficially similar species. We are also interested in cultural and demographic correlates of perceptions, and our survey collects such data, anonymously. Anyone can participate in the survey, which can be found here: www.insectevolutionlab.com/biodiversity We will be collecting data through May 15, 2014, so please pass the link on to your students. If you would like to offer extra credit for student participation, please respond to this email and I will give you more details. Thanks for your help with this project.
