TX 301 - tropical Field Ecology

Institution:

Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

This travel seminar and its companion lecture course, Tropical Ecology (BI325), comprise a classroom- and field-based introduction to the ecology of tropical regions, with an emphasis on Central and South American forests. Students, who must be concurrently enrolled in BI325, will meet in a discussion section throughout the semester, and will travel to the tropical cloud forest community of Monteverde, Costa Rica, during spring break. TX301 does not count toward the biology major as a 300-level elective course, nor does it count as a supportive course for ecology, evolution, and behavior concentrators; BI325 does fulfill these requirements. Prerequisites: Either BI106 or ES105, and any two 200-level biology courses. Offered in alternate years. M. Raveret Richter and Biology Faculty
