BIOL 3133 - Evolution & Ecology

Institution:

Georgia Southern University

Subject:

BIOL Biology

Description:

An introduction to major principles of genetics, evolution, and ecology. This course covers the origin of maintenance of genetic variation (Mendelian and population genetics), genetic change in populations over time (microevolutionary processes of selection, drift, and gene flow), and taxonomic diversification (macroevolutionary process of speciation). Students will see how this evolution and diversification are shaped by ecological interactions between organisms and their biotic environment. These ecological interactions will be studied at the population, community, and ecosystem levels.
