BI 360 - Ecology (4)

An introduction to the interactions of organisms with each other and with their abiotic environment. Several levels of ecological organization are examined. These include the study of different types of populations, communities and ecosystems. Topics include population structure and growth; species interactions including competition, predation, mutualism; energy flow and nutrient cycling; the effects of disturbance and succession; and application of ecological principles to conservation and environmental problems. This course provides hands-on learning through a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in which you will collaborate to investigate research questions in ecology. This course will have field trips and data exercises. When chosen as part of the Standard Track Capstone sequence, this course meets the Capstone requirement for Biology and Professional Health Science majors. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: BI 111  or BI 112 , passed with a “C” or better. Fall, odd years.
