Course Description
This optional 1-credit laboratory section can be taken concurrently with AEC 370 Parasite and Disease Ecology. This laboratory is designed to provide research experience related to parasites and infectious diseases to upper-level undergraduate students. Depending on the semester, research projects may focus on surveying wild hosts, dissecting roadkill, or analyzing existing datasets. By the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate and synthesize scientific literature related to parasites and infectious diseases; develop testable scientific hypotheses; design observational studies related to parasites and disease in wild animals; collect parasitological and ecological data from wildlife; create effective data visualizations; and communicate the results of scientific research.
