Prerequisites: BIOL 265 or permission of instructor.
The goal for Winter Ecology is to teach you about ecosystems in winter by immersing you in the winter environment at LUREC during J-term. Topics include the habitats on, in, and under snow, the morphological, physiological, life cycle modifications of temperate plants, and the winter adaptations of birds.
Outcomes: Students will gain understanding of habitats and organisms present during winter in temperate ecosystems and gain experience with field techniques employed when studying these ecosystems.
