Description:

This course will focus on interpreting local ecological patterns in the context of basic ecological principles. To accomplish this, we will combine readings from the primary literature on the ecology of local plants and animals with weekly trips to environments between the Columbia River and the peaks of the Blue Mountains. On trips we will apply what we have learned in readings to interpreting ecological processes. Through these activities, students will strengthen their ecological knowledge, become familiar with local species and ecosystems, and begin to develop the observational skills of field ecologists/naturalists. One 1.5 hour lecture/discussion and one five-hour field trip per week. Field trips begin at 11am and extend through the lunch hour and into the afternoon. There is a $50 fee for a late spring weekend field trip. Prerequisites: Ecology (Biol 277, Biol 215, or equivalent) and consent of instructor.
