BIOL 114 - Life: Science of Food

2 Credit Hours
This course will introduce students to the evolutionary development and current distribution of organisms in the modern ecosystems of Ireland. We will travel through rural Ireland and visit a diversity of biological communities including peat bogs, oak forests, freshwater lakes, and rocky coastlines. One of the goals of the course is to introduce students to the classification of a diversity of organisms in the context of their evolutionary history. We also discuss the challenges and benefits of conserving biodiversity.
