This general ecology course provides a conceptual foundation for understanding ecological processes
from population dynamics to ecosystem function. Fundamental ecological concepts are covered within
the context of current environmental challenges arising from global change. This framing illuminates
how population dynamics, community composition and trophic interactions affect ecosystem function
and ecosystem services. Prerequisites: Bio 130 or an equivalent course in ecology or environmental
science.
