BIO 14 - Evolution, Ecology and Behavior
Spring
This course will introduce students to the evolutionary and ecological processes
that affect individual organisms, populations and communities. Topics of study
include the unity and diversity of life, the complex web of ecological interactions
between organisms and their environment, and the evolutionary mechanisms that
shape life’s diversity. In addition, related topics of current interest, such
as biodiversity, conservation, and behavioral ecology will be considered. This
class is required for biology majors, and relies on students having a foundation
in cell biology and genetics, as provided through the prerequisite course, BIO
11. The laboratory component of this class emphasizes hands-on learning through
a combination of field work, interactive computer simulations, and classroom laboratories
that stress student participation and critical thought. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours
laboratory.)
