ENV268: Ecology

Ecology concerns the interaction of biota and the environment. Study key ecological concepts and techniques, and their implementation in the field. Consider biogeographic aspects of the Australian biota as a foundation for examination of the four tiers of ecology: the individual, populations, communities and ecosystems. The unit is taught from an evolutionary perspective. A field component is an integral part of the unit and all students participate in the collection and interpretation of a substantial set of ecological field data.
