		Islands often have been the subject of important biogeographic work and have contributed substantially to existing biogeographic theory.
		Specifically, we examine the biology of the marine and terrestrial flora and fauna of San Salvador Island and attempt to determine which factors have given rise to the existing animal and plant communities that characterize the island.
		Class activities include hikes through the rugged scrub-forest communities in the island's interior, snorkeling trips to many patch and several offshore reefs, plant community analysis, rocky intertidal community sampling, snorkeling in seagrass and mangrove habitats, a swim to an offshore island inhabited by iguanas, night snorkeling, and a descent into a water cave.
