Tropical Field Ecology (BIO 3333) is a field-based course that I teach once or twice a year in Ecuador and Costa Rica. It typically lasts 10 days in duration and is designed to show undergraduate students a diversity of ecosystem types, including cloud forests, mangroves, rain forests, tropical dry forests, rivers, and wetlands. These trips consist of traveling in a bus dedicated to the trip and exploring what these small but remarkably diverse countries have to offer.
