BIO 255 - Survey of Marine Autotrophs
Prerequisites: BIO 103 , BIO 104 .
Requirement Fulfillment: Fulfills a course requirement in the Biology and Marine Biology Core Concentration
Marine autotrophs constitute an evolutionarily diverse assemblage of organisms, encompassing the smallest forms of life on earth, as well as some of the largest. This course explores the diversity and evolution of those organisms who, through photosynthesis, source nearly all complex life with sugar and oxygen. The biodiversity of benthic and planktonic marine autotrophs in coastal and open oceans will be studied, including examination of the local micro- and macroscopic marine floras.
