Course Description
Covers the main invertebrates living in mangroves, seagrasses, or on coral reefs. The course will take place in Key Largo, Florida, and include a trip to the Everglades. Topics include: ecology, physiology, global climate change, evolution, what species made reefs in the past as well as what species will survive the future.
Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Graduate students will do a research project on a topic that is
relevant to the course (e.g., role of water flowing though the
Everglades on mangroves, seagrasses and coral reefs), entailing
a literature review and detailed methods. The student will
design an experiment that takes approximately one week to do,
collect data, and write up the results.
