Description:

This is a travel course designed to familiarize students with principles of ecology in exotic or unusual environments, with an emphasis on identification of common species and interactions between species. Students are expected to attend all class sessions during the semester as well as make the extended field trip to the off-campus site, such as in Costa Rica, Alaska, and South Africa. Students are required to research and present information to the group about assigned sites before the trip. Students registered for BI 380 will also work together to design and carry out field investigations to be conducted on the trip, and to present the results of those investigations after the trip. Students are responsible for travel costs and for obtaining necessary documents and medical precautions for travel to the specific site. No pre-requisites for Biology 280: Biology 105/155 and 108/158 are pre-requisites for BI 380. Instructor consent is required for all students. This course counts as a lab science and as off campus study for the MPSL and is also a Biology category 1 or 2 class.
