Office Hours 	Science 528	Tu 12-1, Th 12-2		
BioSci office 	Science 202, phone 278-6535
Texts		Brown, James and Mark Lomolino 1998. Biogeography. Sinauer. We will also read and discuss 
papers that I will draw from the literature.

Grading will be based on 3 reports, 3 previews and class participation.
25 points	Report 1 (individual) Give a 10 minute report and a 6 page paper on the descriptive and historical biogeography of a family-sized clade.
25 points	Report 2 (individual) Give a 10 minute report and a 6 page paper attempting to evaluate the modes of important biogeographic processes 
			for this same clade, processes such as speciation, extinction and dispersal.
25 points	Report 3 (group of up to 4 students) Give a 15 minute talk and a two page outline with references on some important contemporary problem 
			in biogeography. This is expected to be work in progress (no paper), but a serious effort to build on the contemporary literature is desirable.
5 points each	for three preview outlines and discussion.
10 points 	for class participation, i. e. attendance, leading the reading discussion, answering questions, arguing with me and other students over 
			ideas.

The idea of the first two reports is to encourage each student to become an expert in their chosen family and to teach the rest of us what they have 
learned. The family you choose may well be a group that you plan to do your masters research project on or some other group of special interest to you. 
If two students want to work on the same group, we will need to find a way to deal with that. Some families of animals (Muridae) and plants (Asteraceae, 
Fabaceae) are too large to do in a semester course. A subfamily or tribe would be a more manageable size. The third, informal group report gives you the 
chance to examine and test some controversial biogeographic idea.
	
Class time structure	The usual class period will consist of introductory overview by me and discussion of the reading and lecture by everyone. 
						The discussion will usually be led by a pair of students, and will be informal. About half of each period will be my introduction 
						and half will be discussion.

Drops	You may drop by Casper during weeks 1 and 2. You need permission from me and the Bio department chair to drop in weeks 3 and 4. After week 4, 
		through week 12, you may drop with a serious, compelling reason, for example, change in your work schedule, a health or family problem.	
Cheating in any form āF, possible expulsion. DonÕt do this to yourself! See catalog for gory details..
What you will learn This course covers descriptive, historical, theoretical and applied biogeography.
You will learn best 	reading, writing and arguing. Absorb yourself in the biogeography, evolution and ecology of your family.
