Biology Question

Final project Assignment

undefined

The final project for the lab will consist of a literature research paper. The topic of your research will be on the natural history and biology of any organism of your choice. I prefer that you narrow your research to an organism that occurs locally (native or introduced, NOT just at the zoo).

Potential sources of ideas for organisms to present can be found by searching the web for Southern California native plants or endemic species or marine organisms, or any combination that leads you in the direction you want to go. If you want to talk about an organism that has been introduced, you can search SoCal invasive plants, insects, birds, mammals, etc.
