BIO 3380 - Research in Tropical Biodiversity
4 cr
The tropics worldwide contain over two-thirds of the earth’s organisms, but these ecosystems are some of the most imperiled on the planet. In this course students investigate the interdependence of all living things and the complexity of ecological patterns in tropical regions. In addition to class work, we explore the ecology, evolution, and natural history of a tropical location during a weeklong field trip. We will examine and plan research in ecology and conservation of tropical species and habitats.
2 hours of lecture, 42 hours of field experience in Costa Rica (or other tropical location)
