A fundamental understanding of ecology and the physical and biological principles on which ecosystems depend is essential for any naturalist. Learn to interpret the patterns and processes of nature by studying energy flow, food webs, biogeochemical cycles, population dynamics, communities, behavioral and evolutionary ecology, biodiversity, biomes and plant/animal interactions. Two full-day field trips are scheduled.
This course is part of the Certificate of Accomplishment in Collegiate Studies and the Certificate of Accomplishment in Natural History Field Studies. |
