This subject is taught during a field camp off-campus. Practical work and lectures will be conducted in the Daintree Rainforest Observatory, during the mid-semester break in late September. A student contribution of roughly $950 will be required.
Students who require this subject in order to complete a major in Ecology and Evolutionary biology, but who are experiencing financial difficulty should contact the subject coordinator to enquire about the possibility of scholarship support.
This subject requires all students to actively and safely participate in laboratory and field activities. Students undertake field trip experiences that will require them to be physically capable of undertaking outdoor field work in remote locations. This subject involves the use of animals - exemption is not possible, however some research projects, that do not use animals, are avaliable for those with strong philosophical objections - this must be discussed with the coordinator.
