BIO 205 Tropical Biology and Conservation
This course is intended for students interested in the natural history, biology and ecology of the tropics, the most biologically diverse region of the world. Students will study evolutionary, ecological and other biological principles of tropical ecosystems and the natural history of tropical organisms. Current research on conservation programs, sustainable development practices, biodiversity, and the widespread impact of these will also be discussed. The course lab takes place during a study abroad experience to a tropical nation (locations vary).
