Guidelines for article selection

                        Topic of the semester:
                        Effects of pollution and temperature on organisms

                        A selection of recommended articles along with a sign-up sheet will be placed outside the instructor's office (Woodward Hall 381c) on the first day of the class. You can pick up any of those articles. Remember to sign up in the provided sheet indicating which article you have selected.

You can also select your own article for presentation from a relevant scientific journal, but the article must be approved by the instructor. The article presented must have been published in or after 2000 and must be an original research article (not a review). The subject must pertain to ecological or evolutionary physiology or toxicology, specifically to the effects of pollution and/or temperature on organisms. Emphasis is on ecological or evolutionary, so please avoid purely medical articles. If you are not sure that your chosen article meets the criteria, ask the instructor in advance! The instructor must approve your scientific article at least two weeks prior to the first presentation.
