Current students and re-enrolment – 2008
BIO140 The Biological Environment (8)
The aim of this subject is to provide students with aspects of the living biological environment which are important for landowners and rural land managers to understand and apply in the field. It will provide a basic understanding of the diversity and taxonomic organization of biological organisms and the skills to investigate, classify and prepare simple scientific reports describing plant and animal communities and habitats found in Australia. The work is mostly field-based but students will also be introduced to map interpretation, plant and animal identification in the laboratory as well as some theoretical concepts relating to community ecology and biogeography.
This information is for currently enrolled students, and students wishing to re-enrol. Please consult the online course brochures for prospective students looking to enrol in 2008.
