Advanced theories of evolution, emphasising the interaction between ecology and evolution, in relation to the evolutionary history of species and interactions among them.
Evolutionary ecology is the branch of ecology that considers how organisms have evolved to become adapted to their physical environment and their interactions with members of their own and other species; it examines the selective pressures imposed by the environment and the evolutionary response to these pressures. The theme unifying the course is natural selection and adaptation within lineages and evolutionary mechanisms leading to the evolution of new species through splitting- with an emphasis on the ecological selection pressures and genetic systems. Note: BIOL378 (Conservation and Ecology of Populations) is highly recommended as a complimentary course.
to develop a critical appreciation of current questions and approaches in evolutionary ecology to understand how evolutionary processes underpin ecological interactions to understand the roles of observational, experimental and comparative evidence in answering questions of evolutionary ecology
