BIOL-2620 — Ecology & Evolution 3
BIOL-2620 Ecology & Evolution 3 BIOL-2620 Ecology & Evolution 3 This course provides an initial foundation in the concepts and models in the fields of evolution and ecology. There will be a strong emphasis on understanding the process of science as applied by ecologists and evolutionary biologists. By the end of this course, you will understand the major drivers of evolution and the major ecological patterns and processes in nature. Evolutionary concepts will include Darwinian principles, evolutionary processes within populations (including natural selection), the fossil record, the origin and diversification of life, and phylogenetics. Ecological concepts will include global patterns of species diversity and abundance, organismal and behavioral ecology, population dynamics, community ecology, ecosystem processes and conservation biology. Your analytical and quantitative abilities will be reinforced and improved, and you will gain skills in critical thinking that will make you a more scientifically aware citizen.
