BIO 307 - Ecology

Institution:

Touro College

Subject:

Description:

Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. By understanding ecological concepts such as niches, energy and nutrient cycling, food chains and webs, we can appreciate a community's intricate structure. Although species developed unique adaptations to survive in competitive environments, each species in some way contributes to the well being of its community. Human societies have long been an important part of these communities, often to the benefit of both. The student will see humankind in a new light, as part of a complex system of interacting components, subject to all the laws of nature, and will become increasingly aware of the limits imposed by them.
