SEMINAR IN PLANT SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION

BOTANY 960

Topics, recent advances literature in the area of Plant Physiology.

BOTANY 950

Topics, recent advances literature in the area of Plant Ecology.

BOTANY 994

Independent research in the area of Plant Systematics.

BOTANY 305

A broad survey of the diversity of plants in the context of their evolutionary history. Similarities and differences in structure and reproduction among extant bryophytes, lycopods, ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants are emphasized along with the study of fossils representing extinct plant lineages.

BOTANY 400

Plant systematics: the integration of taxonomy (identification, nomenclature, classification emphasizing flowering plants), evolution (speciation, reproductive biology, adaptation, convergence, biogeography), and phylogenetics. Emphasis on representative families and genera of flowering plants in Wisconsin, use of keys, manuals, and iNaturalist, plant collection.
