Island Ecology Class |
| Introduction Islands have fascinated humans since the dawn of time. Islands are microcosms of the evolutionary process that takes place on continents, but different! Because all islands are different - different sizes, different shapes, different distances from continents, different average temperature, rainfall, soil types, etc etc. - each is unique in its own way and each can foster the evolution of different animal and plant communities. Both above and underwater, islands are unique and fascinating places to study. This website is dedicated to islands, all islands, and the biogeography and ecology of islands. Summer 2007 The next Island Ecology class will be offered during summer semester 2007. To see the class syllabus from the summer semester 2006 class: Double Click here! |
