I've kept a reasonably current web site that gives the course outline, and major details from many (most?) of the lectures and labs as well. With some more work, it might become an online biodiversity course, I suppose. The URL is below my signature. I am wondering what the broader ecology/conservation community thinks of the course I have put together. I would like to improve it in the future, and am most interested to hear any comments/questions about course content. If anyone has any suggestions or criticisms, I would be pleased to hear them. I will mention that the course was for non-science majors (our Faculty of Environmental Studies), so much of the material had to be presented in a way that would be accessible to people with little hard science background. Many thanks in advance for everyone's consideration, Regards, __________________________________________________________________ Jeremy Kerr Biology, York University 4700 Keele St. North York, Ontario M3J1P3 Email: jtkerr@yorku.ca Web site: http://www.yorku.ca/academics/jtkerr "A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company." --Charles Evans Hughes AND "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.
