Did you know a tiny bird that weighs only as much;as two nickels (U.S. 5-cent coins) can fly;without stopping for three straight days and;cover a distance equal to that from Mount;Holyoke College to South America? For this class;we will explore foundational biological concepts;by examining the wonderful world of birds. This;course will take advantage of the diverse bird;communities in our own back yard and will meet;outside;as much as possible for labs examining topics;such as biodiversity, structure and function,;ecology, evolution, hypothesis testing, and;observation.
This course is limited to first-year students.; Coreq: BIOL-145WNL.
Multiple required components--lab and/or discussion section. To register, submit requests for all components simultaneously.
