Any individual interested in nature and excited about the ecology of tropical Australia is welcome.
An introductory biology course is recommended, but not required if you have permission from the instructor. The Field Ecology of Australia is a two part course, offered through the UC Davis Extension Summer catalog. The pre trip lectures and discussions will meet at the UC Davis campus on three Saturdays. We will be traveling to Australia to complete the lab portion of the course in August. Activities include mist netting for bats and birds, nocturnal spotlighting for arboreal marsupials, collecting data on mammal and insect populations, and observing Aboriginal rock art.
