Biology of Tropical Ecosystems

Catalog description

This course is designed to impart a thorough understanding of tropical ecology and the role played by the tropics in maintaining both our global environment and biodiversity. Lectures are conducted at ESU and during a week-long field experience where excursions into the field provide an opportunity to become familiar with forest structure and organisms that typify the tropical environment. Students will meet for a total of 15 hours prior to and after the field trip.
