Module Description: Amazing Biodiversity

Everyone knows there is great biodiversity in the rain forest, but have you ever considered the biodiversity of a managed wildlife preserve, an athletic field, a farm field and barns, greenhouses, or a research facility? In this module, you will explore the biodiversity found right here on UConn campus by visiting and examining several of its different indoor and outdoor habitats. Using lab and field techniques and tools, you will examine and compare the species richness around the University of Connecticut campus and find out how our activities affect the biodiversity of our local surroundings.
