Course Description

Summary

In this course, students will learn how organisms interact with each other and their environment. We will consider interactions at organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels through case studies, lab activities, and field work. We will discuss basic principles, experimental approaches, concepts of modeling, and applications to ecological problems at local and globe scale. Topics will include: life histories, predation and herbivory, biogeography, energy flow and food webs, population dynamics, and landscape ecology.
