Students in Environmental and Earth Science Professor Christopher Picone's Ecology Lab wrapped up a week long experiment involving the tomato horn worm feeding and growth. The subjects were fed a certain amount of natural or manmade food, and then they, and their waste, was weighed and recorded. Some subjects' weight increased 10X their starting weight.
In this course, students study the dynamic relationships between organisms and their environment through field and laboratory work emphasizing problem identification, formulation of hypotheses, data collection, and analysis and interpretation of results in terms of their biological implications.
