BIOL 4031 - Plant Systematics Lab

Credit Hours 1
Prerequisite: Biol 1110/1111 and Biol 3070/3071. Students are encouraged to take Biol
4050/4051 first.
Corequisite: Biol 4030
Description: This lab course presents an integrative approach to plant systematics. Topics include principles of plant systematics (i.e., phylogeny, botanical taxonomy and classification, nomenclature, history) and a strong focus on the morphological characteristics of the major plant families of eastern North America. During this class, students will become familiar with contemporary literature and develop an understanding of how plant systematics is informed by herbarium-related research, field work, and lab-based research.
