Cross listed: Environmental Studies

This course is an introduction to the principles that govern interactions among organisms. We will examine what determines the distribution and abundance of organisms by developing an understanding of how these organisms interact with their biotic and abiotic environments. We will consider both general theoretical perspectives and also specific case studies. In our case studies, we will focus primarily on ecological issues related to conservation and to the biology of disease, which is a fundamentally ecological phenomenon. We will have lectures, labs, and field trips.

Prerequisite: Biology 101-102, Chemistry 101-102.
