Tropical Ecology and Conservation: Course Details
'Tropical Ecology and Conservation' offers an in-depth study of tropical ecology and biological conservation with an emphasis on writing as a method of learning. The original seminar and field experience based-course was taught by Colin Orians to advanced undergraduate to graduate-level students in various disciplines, such as biology or urban and environmental planning. The course explores how to research the ecological and biological aspects of a tropical terrestrial environment and how to present an experiment based on that research. The bachelor-level OpenCourseWare version of 'Tropical Ecology and Conservation' covers topics, such as climate variation, nutrient cycling, biological interactions and agriculture.
'Tropical Ecology and Conservation' OpenCourseWare includes a reading list, assignment instructions, selected lecture notes, discussion questions, web-links to useful information and an example research proposal.
