For each topic there will also be seminal papers about ecological theory (as it relates to insects) or species/system specific papers that provide good examples of the topic. Each student will lead at least one paper during a discussion period. Students are expected to distribute 4 questions on each paper to the class the day before. One or two weeks prior to the grant proposal due date, students will send an outline of objectives and hypotheses tested.
