Biological Sciences 145PA - Introductory Biology: 'Plant-Animal Interactions'

Plants as basal resources shape ecological interactions across terrestrial communities. The plant kingdom is diverse, and this diversity structures ecosystem function and interactions within communities. In labs, students will learn about plant taxonomy, structure, function, and adaptation. In lecture, we will build on this botanical understanding to discover how these diverse traits shape ecological interactions. Our goal is to find wonder in the natural world, develop tools for observing natural history, and create a foundation for understanding ecology.

This course is limited to first-year students.; Coreq: BIOL-145PAL.
