Tropical Plant Systematics is an intensive, five-week introduction to the identification, classification, and phylogenetic analysis of vascular plants. This graduate-level field course travels throughout Costa Rica, providing a hands-on introduction to major tropical vegetation types such as paramo, cloud forest, tropical dry forest and lowland rain forest. This course is primarily for plant systematists but will also interest ecologists, zoologists, and conservation biologists whose research requires a broad knowledge of tropical plant relationships, morphology and identification. Instructors: Robbin Moran (New York Botanical Garden) and Brad Boyle (University of Arizona).
