Description:

Will provide an overview of the field of biogeography--the study of geography of living organisms. Class meetings will be split between lectures and discussions. Each discussion will expose students to foundational papers, which set the context for the field's development, and more recent papers, which show where the field is headed. Each student will conduct a short (but time consuming) original research project on some topic in biogeography. A mandatory weekend-long field trip is required. Prerequisites: BIOL 0420 and 0480. Expected: one taxonomy-based course (e.g., BIOL 0410, 0430, or 0460). Enrollment limited to 15 juniors, seniors, and graduate students. Instructor permission required.
