This course is designed to provide students interested in tropical environments with brief but intense experience in a variety of terrestrial, arboreal, and aquatic habitats.

Student projects will address issues of interest in ecology and tropical biology. These projects may involve 1) the entire class, 2) small groups of students, 3) individuals. Another important component of this course will involve learning about the indigenous people of region studied (e.g., ethnobotany). Length of course varies based on location.
