Sensational Symbiosis

There are many relationships among us that often go unnoticed. They can either be beneficial, cause no difference, or are harmful or deadly. The relationships that are most often talked about are animals with each other, which are of course fun and interesting. But this class will also dive into the relationships between kingdoms and those small hidden creatures that run our world. Some topics explored will be lichen, orchids and mycorrhizal fungi, plants and birds, and plants and insects.
