PCB 3043C ECOLOGY WITH LAB 4 credits

Prerequisites: BSC 2010/2010L and BSC 2011/2011L. This course is designed to teach ecology at four major levels: organismic, population, community and ecosystem. One of the aims is to interrelate the different levels of ecological study and to unify these via evolutionary and behavioral ecology. A second aim is to correlate the concepts of ecology with those learned in physiology to understand physiological ecology. This course will address both theoretical and empirical ecology as well as applied ecology with special emphasis on Florida’s ecosystems and human impacts on them. This course is a combined lecture and lab class. 92 contact hours.
