Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.
This course provides an introduction to ecology, covering interactions between organisms and the environment at scales of populations, communities, and ecosystems. Ecological principles are used to explore the theory and applications of major issues facing humanity in the 21st century, including population dynamics, disease ecology, biodiversity and invasive species, global change, and other topics of environmental sustainability.
When Offered Fall, Spring, Summer.
Forbidden Overlaps Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will not receive credit for both BIOEE 1610 and BIOSM 1610.
Distribution Category (BIO-AS) (BIO-AG, OPHLS-AG) Course Attribute (CU-SBY)
Comments Four-credit option involves writing component and a discussion section that meets twice per week. Biological sciences majors must take course for a letter grade. The course has a major emphasis on the relationship of ecological structure and processes to global change. When taught by Professor Howarth, there will be more emphasis on marine ecological examples.
Outcomes
Demonstrate understanding of the ecological principles that affect organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and biospheric processes.
Explain the significance of natural history and contrast the diversity of life-history strategies and habitats as it relates to the structure and function of communities and ecosystems.
Apply ecological principles to contemporary environmental problems, including climate change and loss of biodiversity.
Use experimental and synthetic approaches to analyze and identify patterns and processes at various scales of ecological organization.
Combine tools and basic concepts to identify the causes and consequences of complex ecological relationships.
