Description

Weaves together the broader disciplines of ecology and evolution by introducing the student to a spectrum of sub-disciplines including population genetics, population ecology, community ecology, physiological ecology, macroevolution, systematics and functional morphology. The general theme is the interconnectedness of organism, environment and evolution and the mutual dependence of the two disciplines. The interrelationships of organisms with their environment (ecology) are the very basis for the selection pressure of evolution that leads to adaptation to that same environment. Field trips required. Core: Natural Sciences with Lab requirement. Corequisite: BIOL-233L. Prerequisite: BIOL-111, or permission of the Department Chair.
