Field Lectures in Biodiversity and Evolution

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

A surprisingly diverse, beautiful, and intriguing set of species live in our backyard. This class will meet outdoors for 3 hours per week, rain or shine, with extensive walking in natural areas (forests, fields, streams, agricultural lands). Field lectures will be on the specific plants and animals we encounter, discussing their ecology and exploring the evolutionary relationships between species. The class is hands-on, students can expect to get dirty and must be comfortable in the field. Connections will be drawn between theory learned in the classroom and real world biology and biodiversity out of doors. We will experience habitats and species, take notes, and write about biodiversity.
