MAR 429 - Advanced Field Marine Studies

Institution:

Rider University

Subject:

Description:

3 credits Diurnal (day-night) and tidal cycles involving physiochemical variables are established for shallow marine habitats from spring to neap tides. Corresponding behavioral and physiological rhythms in algae and invertebrates are correlated with abiotic cycles. Microgradients in substrate texture, composition, porosity and permeability, illumination, desiccation, and/or wave-exposure along vertical and horizontal surfaces are established. Biotic gradients, including distribution, size, abundance, and morphology of associated species, are correlated with abiotic variations. Additional course costs defray field work at the marine station for seven-14 days in January prior to the spring semester, with periodic required meetings in the following spring semester. Prerequisites: BIO-272, BIO- 272L, MAR-227 or MAR-228 or MAR-229, MAR-330. Spring.
