Hi,
We are proud to announce a new OTS specialty graduate course “Ecology of
plant-animal interactions in the tropics”. This intensive two-week course is
designed to get hands-on experience on how to effectively perform research
on biotic interactions between plants and animals in the tropics (La
This is an interesting idea. I had students take photos in a local flora
class that I taught at University of Florida more than a decade ago and
just stuck them on a web page. It became a very popular site that has
morphed, shrunken and moved a few times but it still gets hits and you
could do a
As mentioned by another, this is not a good way for students to learn to
identify plants. In the past, I have allowed photographs of correctly
identified plants to count as part of the collection only in the case where the

Taking only pictures as vouchers requires the student to

plant. This is backwards they will not know that information. Everyone
does not need to be a taxonomist, but, part of the purpose of a
I've noticed a number of cases lately where groups with a strong
political agenda (on topics like climate change, evolution, stem cells,
or human health) cite peer reviewed studies in journals that are
essentially fabricated for the purpose of advancing a specific viewpoint.
What's a good way
Hi Everyone,
I have received a lot of helpful and insightful suggestions-thanks so much
to everyone who responded.
I probably should have clarified that the class is a beginning 1-credit
freshman-level weed ID course mostly taken by agricultural science majors.
Most of the students will not be

Well, for one thing is the journal full of bunk. One of these fake
journals was on the Directory of Open Access Journals some time ago.
Last I checked DOAJ had removed it from the list, I believe that they
booted it after it was reported that the journal was junk.
