Thanks to the list I now have the articles I'm looking for and about 30 more <g>. My own interest in this topic stems from two factors, first, concerns I have about the current state of the reviewing process (the Ozymandias paper is a fake review of this famous poem describing the needed measurements, with a rewritten version), which are described here http://abc.museucienciesjournals.cat/volum-37-1-2014-abc/improving-the-reviewing-process-in-ecology-and-evolutionary-biology/?lang=en as well as the development of innovative teaching methods for ecology/evolution. Here is a recent article on the second area in which I use original music videos that recapitulate class materials on speciation, natural selection, competition, the Linnean hierarchy, habitats and rat snakes http://naturalhistorynetwork.org/journal/articles/the-use-of-original-music-videos-to-teach-natural-history/ and the music videos are on this channel www.youtube.com/user/assortedpieces . Not sure if anyone is interested in these things but I thought I'd provide the links anyway. I'm continuing my efforts in teaching methods with a quantitative evaluation of the actual effects of the videos on learning and retention and also working on other techniques as well.
