Course Description

BI 373 ECOLOGY OF THE FUTUTRE LAB   1.0 Credit(s)
Ecology more than any other discipline of biology is obsessed with predicting the future. This course delves into this obsession by examining 1) how we can leverage the details of biology to predict the future of ecosystems and our planet, and 2) why these attempts so often fail. This will involve a survey of topics including population models, ecological filters, functional traits, community networks, and carbon sequestration. The two co-requisite courses (BI3?? lecture and BI3??+2 lab) are worth a total of 4 credits. Prerequisite: Take BI-202 BI-204
Offered: As Needed Even Academic Years
