BIOL368: Ecology and Evolution |
This unit explores in more depth topics seen in BIOL227, covering some key ideas, facts and methods across ecology at organism, population, community and ecosystem levels. We aim to show you how ecosystem components need to be understood as products of ongoing evolution, and how evolutionary processes play out in the ecological theatre. You will also learn some essential skills for a science career: how to design simple manipulative experiments (with the chance to put this into practice during the semester) and how to present ideas and data to an audience.
For internal students, there is a two hour lecture and a tutorial weekly, as well as a one day fieldtrip. Practicals take the form of an individual experiment conducted in the student's own time.
