Australian Ecology: From Theory to Practice

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Ecology allows us to understand patterns of species distribution and abundance and, when applied, can help identify and address the impact of pressures that threaten biodiversity. This course uses the context of the Australian environment to provide a foundation in ecology and its application. Population demographics, community dynamics and ecosystem processes are examined and this theory is paired with hands-on field and class experiences so students can develop data handling and analytical skills.
