The Biology and Ecology of Fungi

5 credits

Students explore the evolutionary origins and ecological diversity of fungi, examine their roles in ecosystem processes and human societies, and use real-world datasets to investigate how fungal communities respond to environmental change. Students develop foundational knowledge and practical research skills, and think critically about how fungi function as foundations of ecosystems in a rapidly changing world. Prerequisite: BIOL 162 or BIOL 180. Offered: A.
