A study of coral reef types and the relationship
of reef organisms to their environment. Emphasis is given to species diversity/identification,
symbiosis, and effects of abiotic factors, predation, and competition on the
abundance and distribution of coral reef organisms. A segment of this course
involves on-site study of the biology of tropical reefs/organisms and the accumulation
of species population data usually at Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras, but other
reef locations may be used. Prerequisites: 4 courses in biology designated for
science majors and SCUBA certification required.
