You will present an approximately 10 minute impromptu presentation on the natural history/ecology, distribution, evolutionary affinities (order, family, genus species & phylogenetic relationships if known) and scientific name, and conservation status of each species assigned to you below. We will do this in the field, and without any visuals,  when we find the species in question, or when we find the habitat where it is supposed to be found. The best thing for you to do is to make the notes that you will use in your field book that you should be purchasing.
