Approachable Case Studies Support Learning and Reproducibility in Data Science: An Example from Evolutionary Biology

Figures & data

Fig. 1 A phylogenetic tree from our tutorial. It was extracted using OpenTree of Life resources (Open Tree Of Life et al. 2019) wrapped in the rotl R package (Michonneau, Brown, and Winter 2016).

Fig. 2 Snapshot of a section of the tutorial website, where we demonstrate a common error.

Fig. 3 Snapshot of the home to our tutorial website, showing part of the schedule. Our tutorial website was constructed using the software workshop template from the Carpentries (Wilson 2016).
