Space is available for undergraduate- and graduate-level versions of my summer field ecology course. This 2-credit Villanova University summer session course (http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/summersession.html) is open to science students enrolled in other universities and colleges. It features a hybrid format, including online work in June, a 2-week field trip to Nova Scotia in early July, and online follow-up activities in late July. Students need to be present in person only for the trip (tentative dates: 30 June - 13 July). Emphasis will be on terrestrial and marine habitat diversity; field identification of plants and animals; field ornithology methods including bird-banding; whale- and seabird-watching; and regional natural resource ecology.
