BIOL 187T KS -Topics: Mycology & Global Change

Institution: Pitzer/Scripps

Description: This course is an introduction to fungi through exploring how a diversity of fungi behave in natural and extreme habitats across scales of biological organization. We will discuss fungal evolution, diversity, ecology, and physiology, and how they differ across the fungal functional groups and throughout the fungal tree of life. We will relate fungal processes to their response to global change drivers emphasizing natural disasters and pollution. Additionally, we will explore how to leverage fungal physiological processes to determine what effect fungi have in both natural and human systems. Course prerequisite: BIOL044L KS, or BIOL043L KS, or 2 science courses, or permission of instructor.
