NSCI 175 - Ecological Impacts and Invertebrate Neurobiology

FC NSMA
4 credits
The decline of bee populations is a widely-known ecological catastrophe, but other invertebrate species are also threatened. This course will go beyond the environmental studies approach to explore the neurobiological impacts of the stressors that ultimately are leading to a decrease in invertebrate populations. Topics may include the effects of pollution, habitat loss, disease, and invasive species on the cognitive function of invertebrates. This course will integrate field observations, discussions, and reading of primary literature.
