SUMMARY:CANCELED: Mammals Course Begins (15th-26th)
DESCRIPTION:Southern Appalachian Mammals: June 15 – 26 \nDr. Ed Pivorun\, Clemson University & Ms. Rada Petric UNC-Greensboro (download syllabus) \nThis mammals course will emphasize the mammalian fauna of the Southern Appalachians. We will have traditional lectures on mammalian anatomy\, evolution\, orders\, physiology and ecology for about 1 ½ hours every morning. Field work will emphasize live trapping techniques. Mammals tend to be nocturnal. Thus\, all traps will be set out in the late afternoon and will be checked early the next morning. These efforts will allow the student to become familiar with as many living local species of mammals as possible. The field work will examine the importance of specific habitats for the distribution and density of specific species. After a short break\, we will move into the lecture setting until noon. In the early afternoon\, after lunch\, we will spend another 1 ½- 2 hours to do some more of the traditional mammalogy labs on anatomy\, identification and keying. An interactive DVD/flash drive provided to each student contains high resolution images of the skulls of each species native to the Appalachian forests. This is an excellent study aid that is used in conjunction with the actual skulls and study skins of each species. \nPrerequisites: Introductory biology\, zoology\, or permission of the instructor. \nClick here to apply.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: EPT 1 Course Begins (15th-26th)
DESCRIPTION:Southern Appalachian Mayflies\, Stoneflies\, & Caddisflies [Session 1]: June 15 – June 26 \nDr. John Morse\, Clemson University \nNatural history and taxonomy of mayflies (Ephemeroptera)\, stoneflies (Plecoptera)\, and caddisflies (Trichoptera)\, including systematics\, ecology\, and behavior of larvae and adults\, with emphasis on those aspects important in ecological studies\, biological monitoring of water quality\, and sports fishing. Insects will be collected from diverse mountain stream habitats\, and identifications will be performed in the laboratory. Students may opt to take the Society for Freshwater Science’s Taxonomic Certification exam of eastern EPT to genus at the end of the course (http://www.sfstcp.com/). \nPrerequisites: General biology\, ecology\, or permission of instructor \nClick here to apply.
