Description:

As needed This course examines the plants and animals of a variety of habitats classified within the context of wetlands and prairie. Both of these areas have been greatly reduced in size within the North American continent through agriculture and development. Several areas near Baldwin provide rare opportunities for study of these areas. The upland community at the Ivan Boyd Prairie Preserve, prairie savannahs at the Ivan Boyd Woodlands, and a variety of wetland types at the 573-acre Baker University Wetlands Research and Natural Area will be the focal points of field study. This course is designed for upper-college biology and wildlife biology majors with an interest in field research. There are three lecture and discussion periods and one laboratory session each week. Prerequisite: BI 377.
