NOVEMBER 2009

November 18 - Students in Dr. Christopher Brown’s Biology I Lab recently spent time in the Front Circle, taking advantage of the chance to learn about ecology while enjoying sunny skies. Students were taking part in an experiment designed to teach them about interspecific and intraspecific competition. Interspecific competition occurs between two or more different species whereas intraspecific competition takes place between members of the same species. The experiment used techniques like foraging, competition and predation to give students a hands-on learning experience.
