Subject:

Environmental Studies

Description:

They are called non-native, invasive, introduced and exotic species, but who are they? What makes them so successful while countless other species across the planet go extinct? In this field studies course we will examine these questions by looking at the literature at the level of individual species that are successful invaders, while also investigating what makes some ecosystems more vulnerable to invasives while others resist. We'll participate in the efforts to control non-native species and restore a native ecosystem through work with the National Park Service during our field trip. This course will Include a mandatory field trip, dates TBD
