(3 units). A survey of key ecological processes operating at the level of individual populations or within assemblages of interacting species. Topics include: models of population dynamics, species interactions and coexistence, and analysis of biological diversity and community composition. Emphasis is on developing theory from first principles and applying it to real-world problems. Course Component: Laboratory, Lecture Prerequisites: BIO 2129, MAT 2379. Limited enrolment. Offered in alternate years.
