Delving into fish diversity—The 18 students enrolled in the summer term Biology 101 class at Birmingham-Southern, taught by Biology Professor Andy Gannon, knew each other's names by the end of the first month. By the end of the course, they will know how to identify various fish species, namely those located along Turkey Creek in Pinson. The exercise “Stream Biodiversity: Fishes of Turkey Creek,” conducted July 10, is the lab component to the BI 101 lecture course. “In this lab, the students identify the species and record the number of each, along with water current and water depth,” explains Brenda Hammer, biology lab coordinator. “The project was designed by Dr. Scot Duncan [biology professor] and the data was entered into a database to monitor water quality at Turkey Creek."
