ENST603

Jointly offered with ENST403. Credit only granted for: ENST403, ENST603 , or ENST689R. Formerly: ENST689R. Additional information: Two field trips are planned for this class. We will examine ecological, evolutionary, and anthropogenic processes facilitating or resisting biological invasions, and consider their environmental, economic, and human health impacts. We will consider various management strategies to mitigate invasions and identify areas of future research. Field trips and detailed discussion of recent findings and controversies in the literature will help illustrate fundamental concepts of invasions among various ecosystems.
