BIO 144/234: Conservation Biology: A Latin American Perspective
Principles and application of the science of preserving biological diversity. Conceptually, this course is designed to explore the major components relevant to the conservation of biodiversity, as exemplified by the Latin American region. The conceptual frameworks and principles, however, should be generally applicable, and provide insights for all regions of the world. All students will… Read moreBIO/EARTHSYS 105A/B: Ecology and Natural History of Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve
The Ecology and Natural History of the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve is an upper-division course that aims to help students learn ecology and natural history using a ‘living laboratory,’ the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. The course’s central goal is that, as a community of learning, we examine ‘via introductory discussions, followed by hands-on experiences in… Read more BIO/EARTHSYS 105A/B: Ecology and Natural History of Jasper Ridge Biological PreserveBIO 121/221: Ornithology
Advanced undergraduate survey of ornithology, introducing students to the biology of birds and giving them to tools to use birds as model systems for research. Topics will include avian evolution, physiology, adaptations, behavior, and ecology. Focus throughout on identification of California birds and applications to current bird conservation issues. Course will include lectures and a… Read more BIO 121/221: OrnithologyBIO 121: Ornithology

Teaching by Ramon Perea I’m currently teaching BIO44Y (Plant Biology, Ecology and Evolution. CORE Eco-Evo Laboratory) and advising several students on their Honors theses in Stanford University. I’m also collaborating on teaching courses and advising students in their Master’s and PhD theses at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM-Spain) BIO 44Y: Core Plant Biology & Eco… Read more BIO 44Y: Core Plant Biology & Eco Evo LaboratoryBIO 30: EARTHSYS 30: Ecology for Everyone
EARTHSYS 30: Ecology for Everyone Teaching by Jessica Martin. Everything is connected, but how? Ecology is the science of interactions and the changes they generate. This project-based course links individual behavior, population growth, species interactions, and ecosystem function. Introduction to measurement, observation, experimental design and hypothesis testing in field projects, mostly done in groups. The… Read more BIO 30: EARTHSYS 30: Ecology for EveryoneBIO 44Y: Core Plant Biology & Eco Evo Laboratory
