Using fictional creatures, we can control the number and properties of characteristics, as well as present students with a context they might consider interesting. Besides creating evolutionary trees from data, students can learn that trees based on morphological characteristics might contradict and trees based on genetic analysis are a more reliable tool in classification. The material used in this learning environment is freely available, so educators can use and customize it freely. Students working with this material declared a high motivation to work with the fictional animals and engaged in very active discussions about different classifications of the dragons.}, note = {We gratefully acknowledge the support of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under grant number 01PL16075.}, note = {<div> <div> <div>Thilo Schramm, Anika Jose, Philipp Schmiemann; How to Classify Your Dragons: On Teaching Tree-Reading with the Use of Fantastical Creatures. <em><em>The American Biology Teacher</em></em> 2022; 84 (5): 308--311. doi: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2022.84.5.308">https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2022.84.5.308</a></div> <div>{\&}{\#}xa0;</div> <div>1 May 2022</div> <div>{\&}{\#}xa0;</div> </div> </div>}, note = {<p>Version of Record / Verlagsversion</p>}, note = {<p>University of California Press</p> <p>Re-use of your Published Work{\&}{\#}xa0;</p> <p>Authors rights to re-use their published work is outlined in the journal's author agreement, including:{\&}{\#}xa0;</p> <ul> <li>the right to use the contribution for internal educational, classroom use, or other research purposes of the author's own institution or company</li> <li>the right to publish the contribution or permit it to be published by other publishers, as part of any book or anthology authored or edited by the author</li> </ul> <ul> <li>the right to post the contribution on the author's personal website or within institutional or subject repositories at any time</li> </ul> <p>https://online.ucpress.edu/journals/pages/authors (Stand der Information: 25.09.2023)</p>}, note = {<strong>Supplemental material</strong> to this article is available on DuEPublico: <a href="https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico{\_}mods{\_}00074842">https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico{\_}mods{\_}00074842</a>}, doi = {10.1525/abt.2022.84.5.308}, url = {https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00079077}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1525/abt.2022.84.5.308}, file = {:https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/duepublico_derivate_00078604/Schramm_et_al_2022_How_to_classify_dragons.pdf:PDF}, language = {en} }
