May. Field Ecology and Evolution LABORATORY (BIO 4452), offered by Villanova University at Archbold and other Florida sites (see below).
Instructors: Robert Curry (http://oikos.villanova.edu/RLC/) and Philip Johns
E-mail addresses: Curry (rcurry@email.villanova.edu)
Johns (pjohns@email.villanova.edu)

Dates: 25 February - 5 March, 2000.

This course introduces students (advanced undergrads and beginning Masters levels) to the ecosystems and organisms of Florida, with emphasis on biogeographic patterns; field identification of select groups of organisms; natural history and evolutionary adaptations; and methods for ecological field study. The course combines travel to selected localities in South Florida (including Everglades National Park, Big Cypress Preserve, and other sites en route) with more intensive study of habitats and organisms at Archbold, including group and individual research projects. Travel is by air from Villanova and then by van within Florida; accommodations include cabins at Archbold and (possibly) overnight tenting.

This course is offered biennially by Villanova, with a corequisite lecture component (Bio 4451) during the same semester. Student from other institutions who are able to complete the lecture course are welcome to enroll. The course has focused twice before on Florida (1992, 1996).
