This course introduces students to the fundamentals of biogeography. Biogeographers are primarily interested in answering questions like "why do organisms live where they do?" and "what are the spatial patterns by which organisms are distributed?" Students will be able to explain, analyze, and interpret vegetation-environment relationships, vegetation dynamics, disturbance ecology, human impacts on plants and animals, dispersal, extinction, and conservation through discussions and readings and then apply their knowledge in field-based lab exercises. Notes: Field work is required during scheduled lab time. |
