additional background, or permission of the instructor. Students
must also
either plan to complete Bio 4452 in the subsequent semester or
register concurrently for the matching section of Bio 4452 (we
strongly discourage taking the Bio 4451 lecture course alone,
because its primary purpose is to prepare students for the
corresponding field course)

M. Russell is offering a
separate version of Bio 4451 in F08, with a regional focus on
coastal Oregon
