Description
Today, the line between natural and human-dominated ecosystems is increasingly unclear. This course introduces ecological principles within the context of environmental change. Topics may include individual-level ecology with a focus on behaviour, population ecology addressing growth, density dependence, and life history, community-level interactions such as competition, predation, parasitism, and mutualism, and broader patterns in biodiversity, biogeochemical cycling, and global change biology in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Students will develop quantitative skills and apply ecological concepts to real-world issues through both lectures and a field-based practicum.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 121.3.
Note: Students with credit for BIOL 253 or PLSC 213 will not receive credit for BIOL 228. Costs in addition to tuition will apply to this course. Please contact the department for details.
