Ecology & Evolutionary Bio

4.0 credits

This course emphasizes the development of testable questions and implementation of appropriate observations and experiments on a series of topics in ecology and evolution. Many of the mini-projects will be done in the field on non-model organisms native to New York. Students will gain experience in field and lab methods used in ecology and evolutionary biology (including relevant computer applications), critiquing published scientific studies, writing scientific reports, and presentation of scientific results.
