Communities and Ecosystems

3 credits · Undergraduate

Life exists and evolves in ecosystems which are complex systems. This class studies ecosystems and their food webs from a systems theory approach with an emphasis on network theory and qualitative analysis. Life itself is a networked process. Ecosystems are approached holistically to discover a new set of system properties. PREREQUISITES: BIOL 2060.03 (or BIOA 3001.03) or INTD 2001.03 or INTD 2002.03 RESTRICTIONS: E1, E2 FORMATS: Lecture
