VIDEO CONTENT FOR BIO 209 SPRING 2020

This is the page where we will post all of our mini-lecture videos and our recorded live sessions. We will also post good material from colleagues around the world that is relevant (and better produced/edited). Please take advantage of whatever resources work for you. If you find good additional material please shoot us an email and we'll post it.

​Post Spring break Q&A sessions: 
Monday: https://duke.zoom.us/rec/share/_5ZuIq_Q9k1JGongxmCOS74hTsf0aaa8h3BMrvQMxRwSXWe-FVpxbolTrnNHMgCI

(21:41) Zoom Lecture Part 3
slide deck
Errata: In part II I flubbed the explanation of why we measure [O2] in aquatic systems and [CO2] in terrestrial ecosystems. It is because small changes in O2 are hard to measure in the atmosphere against the high background (O2 is 20% of atmosphere) while CO2 is highly soluble so is often quite high in water relative to O2 (which is not very soluble). Our ability to detect each gas, and the sensors developed to do so differs between aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The metrics can be converted  a respiratory quotient (which is the ratio of the production of CO2 and the consumption of O2 during respiration (RQ = ΔCO2/-ΔO2))
