This graduate-level field course travels throughout Costa Rica, providing a hands-on introduction to major tropical vegetation types such as paramo, cloud forest, tropical dry forest and lowland rain forest. This course is primarily for plant systematists but will also interest ecologists, zoologists, and conservation biologists whose research requires a broad knowledge of tropical plant relationships, morphology and identification. Instructors: Robbin Moran (New York Botanical Garden) and Brad Boyle (University of Arizona). <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>More information:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><a href="http://www.ots.ac.cr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=153&Itemid=393"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>http://www.ots.ac.cr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=153&Itemid=393</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'>__________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'>Brad Boyle, Ph.D.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='color:black'>Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Arizona BSW 310 P.O.
