Teaching:

  Dr. Langerhans currently teaches a study abroad course, Bahamian Conservation Biology, each summer (taught 11 times so far), and Evolutionary Ecology each Fall (taught 11 times so far). He has also been teaching several of the core courses in the Dept. of Biological Sciences Honors Program since 2021 (21 total so far). He has previously taught Introduction to Evolution.

  Evolutionary Ecology is a discussion-oriented, graduate-level course (advanced undergrads can enroll with permission) providing a detailed overview of evolutionary ecology, the multidisciplinary interface of ecological and evolutionary processes. The course draws heavily from peer-reviewed literature and includes critical literature reviews and a research project. Ask prior students about it--it's a fun time!

  Bahamian Conservation Biology is a field course on Andros Island that is co-taught with Nils Peterson, and focuses on the ecology and evolution of three critical aquatic ecosystems in the Bahamas (blue holes, tidal creeks, coral reefs) and the human dimensions of their conservation and management. Check out the course website for details. See the current flyer.

  Dr. Langerhans is the Director of the Department of Biological Sciences Honors Program, the Coordinator for the undergraduate Biology major concentration in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, and the Coordinator for the minor in Evolutionary Biology.
