Ecology and Its Applications

Catalog description

Examines key processes and interactions (e.g. population growth and regulation, competition, predation, symbiosis, and the structure of biological communities) needed to understand basic ecology and its applications. Discussions of ecological theory and data from a variety of habitats are augmented by a required lab section to include field trips, computer simulations, student presentations, and primary literature analysis. Prerequisite: minimum grade of 2.0 in T BIOL 140; minimum grade of 2.0 in T CHEM 162; minimum grade of 2.0 in either TMATH 110, TMATH 116, TMATH 120, or STAT 220; and TESC 310 or TBIOMD 310, which may be taken concurrently.
