BI 512 - Ecological Genetics

Institution:

Georgian Court University

Subject:

Description:

Ecology and genetics are often regarded as separate specializations within the field of biology. Increasingly, though, the two fields are now converging, as geneticists find applications for their tools in ecological studies, and ecologists reach out to geneticists for solutions to questions that cannot be answered using other existing techniques. Using specific case studies, this course will examine current and potential applications of genetic techniques to a variety of environmental questions. Students will be challenged to learn about the way in which these techniques work, and their strengths and weaknesses for answering the types of questions to which they are being applied. 3 hours lecture.
