A key feature of course content is an ecological approach that recognizes current global conditions and drivers of rapid change (i.e., ecology in the Anthropocene). Emphasis is also placed on the application of quantitative tools in ecology and the intersection between ecology and evolution. Additional areas of focus include individual physiology and behavior, populations, the many forms of species interactions and multispecies food webs, forms and patterns of biodiversity, spatial dynamics, community-level change through time, nutrient cycling and ecosystem services, and conservation in the Anthropocene. Field trips are required.Usually HeldFri 9:00am–12:05pm, Mon 4:30pm–7:35pm, Thu 12:00pm–3:05pm, Tue 12:00pm–3:05pm
