Plant-Animal Interactions Sem

Catalog description

Students explore the expansive plant-animal interactions literature, with human impacts on the dynamics of plant-animal interactions as the main theme of the seminar. The class is conducted in the style of a <i>journal club,</i> where individual students take the responsibility for leading discussions on current articles from the literature. Students learn to critically analyze experimental designs, ecological and evolutionary theory, and key conclusions of the articles, while working toward research proposals to study the potential effects of continued anthropogenic influences.
