The Southern A ppalachians are an area of high bryophyte diversity, and this course will i ntroduce students to common and some rare mosses, liverworts, and hornworts of the region. The class will survey bryophyte diversity by visiting and s ampling from a variety of habitats in the vicinity around Highlands, NC. La boratory work will involve extensive use of microscopes, and identification s will rely on microscopic characters and use of dichotomous keys. Students will explore diagnostic features for bryophyte identification and learn co mmon taxa in the field and closeup using microscopes. Lectures will cover d ifferences among mosses, liverworts, and hornworts as well as morphological features used to distinguish bryophyte taxa. No prior bryology experience or studies are necessary to take the course, though students should be will ing to work with microscopes and use diagnostic keys for identification in the lab. The course is geared towards botanists, natural resource professio nals, naturalists, and students. Prerequisites: a botany, plant science, or plant taxonomy course or permission of instructor.
