FDR: SC
Credits: 3
Planned Offering: Offered when interest if expressed and faculty resources permit.

Prerequisites: BIOL 111 and 113 or instructor consent. How are plants and animals distributed on Earth, and how do important biogeographical patterns reflect ecological and evolutionary processes? The answers to these questions are crucial to conservation efforts and to predicting changes in “biodiversity” during a time of unprecedented, rapid global environmental change. Hurd, Staff.
