(3 credits)(Prereq: a grade of 'C' or better in MSCI*302/L)(Coreq: MSCI*476L) This course explores the structure and function of planktonic communities. The role of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacteria are examined in detail. Concepts such as: mineral cycling, energy flow, predator/prey relationships, tropic interactions, and spatial and temporal dynamics are investigated in lecture, discussion, and an integrated laboratory setting. The laboratory consists of 3 field studies conducted in esuarine and marine environments, and may require weekend commitments. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. S, odd years.
