Abstract

During December 2003-January 2004, the author spent two weeks in Australia teaching a study abroad biology course. The course focused on the biodiversity of selected Australian ecosystems (temperate and tropical aquatic ecosystems, tropical and eucalyptus forests), and included an examination of evolutionary adaptations resulting from geological and physical changes and human activities.
