  3.00 Credits

  East Tennessee State University

  
  Prerequisites: BIOL 1110 & BIOL 1120 or Permission of the instructor. The class visits many field sites in Ecuador where students examine plants at diverse climatic, elevational and vegetational settings. Students collect and identify plants, observe and dissect material, and become familiar with economically important tropical and temperate plants. Working with Ecuadorian botanists and students, we conduct plant surveys in several locations. Plants collected in these surveys are identified and specimens deposited with regional and national herbaria.
