Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther to the stigma in angiosperms. Flowers and their pollinators are delightfully beautiful and evolutionarily complex. This course will explore the diversity and intricacies of pollination interactions from both animal and plant perspectives. We will cover an array of topics centered on pollination ecology: the politics and economics of global pollinator declines, evolution and ecology, and pollination in the context of global change.
This course is open to juniors and seniors; Prereq: BIOL-223 or BIOL-226 and 8 credits at the 200-level.; Coreq: BIOL-321PEL.
Multiple required components--lab and/or discussion section. To register, submit requests for all components simultaneously.
