EEB 476 - Theoretical Ecology and its Applications3 Credit Hours
Ecosystems show an incredible diversity of dynamics. Theoretical ecology focuses on identifying generalizable principles that can help organize how we approach ecological data analyses and the design of experimental programs in the face of that complexity and richness. Ecological theory bounds what is possible, spotlights what is likely, and generates new hypotheses, thereby helping the ecological scientist to focus their research effort. Ecological theory also provides techniques that can help guide conservation management interventions. Topics may include but are not limited to: demographic modeling, community ecology, life history theory, protected area design, bioeconomics, behavioral ecology and more.
Repeatability: May be repeated if topic differs. Maximum 6 hours.
(RE) Prerequisite(s): BIOL 260 and Math 152 or MATH 142.
