Description: The Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience in Behavioral Ecology curriculum (CURE-BxEco) aims to provide the curriculum necessary for students across the globe to access independent research experiences in animal behavior and behavioral ecology. This curriculum includes instructional materials to teach students how to conceptualize, design, conduct, and report independent research projects using behavioral observations collected either in person or using freely accessible live animal webcams. Within this curriculum, we also aimed to incorporate an open science initiative to provide students with training in open scholarship as well as catalyze expansive and comparative research by future students. Each Component of this OSF Project represent the products of a student's course-based independent research project. This repository and database will continue to be updated.
