HP 4152: Cloud Forest Ecology
(3 credits)
The class will start on the UW campus, where we will discuss travel requirements, and the students will be introduced to general concepts of tropical forest ecology. Lectures at the research station and practical examples in the forest will include: tropic webs, insects and plant community structure, plant defense mechanisms against herbivory, canopy structure and epiphytes, and the evolution of crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry systems. We will fly from Denver to Quito, Ecuador, where the students will have an opportunity to experience Ecuadoran culture including restaurants, native marketplaces, historical architecture and cathedrals, as well as visiting the monument to the equator (where students can stand on the line of the equator with one foot in each hemisphere). From Quito we travel by bus to the small village of Cosanga and onwards by foot to the Yana Yacu Research Station, where most of the course will be conducted. On the first few days we will have orientation hikes and practical teaching and student research projects in the forest. While at Yana Yacu, during the day students will have many opportunities to hike in the cloud forest, will assist with sampling of plants and insects, will assist in the insectary (caterpillar zoo) with feeding and maintaining caterpillar cages, photographing and identifying plants and caterpillars, recording data, and preserving specimens for future research. During the evenings after dinner, we will meet in the library for lectures, discussion groups, and planning meetings.

ZOO 4900 – Problems: Behavioral ecology and biodiversity in Ecuador
(1-3 credits)
The Andes and Amazonian lowlands of South America have the most diverse assemblage of birds in the world. Ecuador straddles the equator and has land on both slopes of the Andes. Although Wyoming covers approximately 2.5 times the area of Ecuador, Ecuador has four times as many species of birds (> 1,800 species). This 15-day course will introduce students to one of the biodiversity hotspots of the world, instill an appreciation for the flora and fauna, especially the birds, and allow them to get hands-on experience in exploring the fascinating repertoire of behaviors exhibited by the animals (mostly birds, but also embracing mammals, amphibians and invertebrates) that live in these diverse habitats. The main field site, the Milpe Reserve of the Mindo Cloud Forest Foundation (http://www.mindocloudforest.org/milpe-bird-sanctuary/), is at 1,100 meters on the west slope, with excursions to higher elevation cloud forest (2,000 meters) and low-elevation forest (350 meters), at each of which most of the plants and animals will be different. Field projects will emphasize inquiry-based learning about why tropical animals behave in the ways they do. Days will be long, typically with early rising and extensive hiking. Evening lectures and presentations by students, faculty and other researchers will supplement the field experience. Prerequisites: junior or senior majors in Biology, Botany, ENR, WFBM, or Zoology.
An information session will be held on Tuesday Oct. 23rd at 5:30 pm in the Berry Center Auditorium (Rm 138).

Gender, Global Change, and Development in Fiji
This two week, three credit Fiji-based course has three primary goals: [1] to familiarize students with the lives of a diverse array of women in Fiji through formal meetings and informal encounters with a wide range of individuals and organizations; [2] to provide students with an opportunity for complete immersion in a country which, although very safe (and frequented by many vacationers), has experienced remarkable political and socioeconomic upheaval in recent decades; [3] to facilitate critical interrogation of the integration of gender into the practices of “development”, broadly defined as institutional, activist, and community efforts toward improving health, quality of life, and access to resources for greater numbers of women and their families. Topics covered in this immersion course will include economic survival strategies (including migration), women’s unequal access to resources, agricultural production and sustainability, and women’s health. Students will have the opportunity to live with host families, attend lectures at the University of the South Pacific, observe village life, and meet with development professionals at UN Women, activists and community members involved in working for gender equality. Select interested students may have the opportunity to additionally pursue an independent study with Dr. Dewey as part of her ongoing research with Fiji’s women market traders. Prerequisites: UW degree-seeking student of sophomore standing with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
