sciences or enroll in preprofessional programs. Animal physiology,
plant development and physiology. Final course in a three-quarter
series.
Emphasizes understanding species
interactions in biological communities and relationships of communities
to environment.
This course provides rigorous training in
research methods in tropical ecology, and includes a field unit on
conservation biology in the tropics. The course is primarily intended
to serve Latin American graduate students, and is conducted entirely in
Spanish.
Introduction to graphite, pen and ink,
coquille, and scratchboard, along with training in essential skills for
creating accurate and dynamic scientific illustrations. Attention to
the demands of the printing process along with basics of proportion,
