【 摘 要 】

This article serves as a short 'best practices' aimed at graduate students for advising undergraduates, specifically within the disciplines of ecology and evolution. It offers documented research on undergraduate research experiences, and the most effective mentoring strategies for success across Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, as well as practical methods for how to enact these strategies. Most importantly, this work serves particularly to highlight issues undergraduates may encounter in conducting research specifically in ecology and evolution, and what graduate student mentors can do to help students overcome these challenges.
