Category: Course

Course Description:
Lichens grow all over the world, from the arctic to the tropics, where they are important as shelter for small invertebrates, and food for animals from snails to caribou. In this course, you will have a chance to learn about lichens in one of their centers of diversity, the southern Appalachians. We will take field trips to a variety of habitats to explore the biological and ecological diversity of lichens. Lab work will cover lichen identification, chemistry, and morphology. At the end of the course, you will have a new perspective on the diversity, evolution, ecology, and conservation of lichens. Prerequisites: general biology, ecology or evolution, or permission from instructors.
