Plant-Animal Interactions


Instructor: Ed Connor

 

Meeting Time: W 1 –3

Meeting Place: HH 116

This course will involve readings, student presentations, and discussions of the primary literature on the interactions between plants and animals. Each student will make a 30-minute oral presentation, prepare an annotated bibliography, and select papers for the class to read on a topic of interest in plant-animal interactions. We envision discussion topics to focus on various aspects of herbivory, seed dispersal and seed predation, and pollination from either the prospective of the plant or the animal. Potential Topics could include:
