EESC 320 Advanced Ecology (Lec/Lab)
This course will cover and expand ecological concepts introduced in BIOL 310 and will include implications for analyzing and even managing or remediating environmental problems (e.g. oiled animals, commercial business proposals-fertilizer plant, soybean plant, etc.). Topics will include aquatic ecology, the introduction and management of invasive species, superabundant species, as well as endangered and endemic species. Specific examples will be used to emphasize the application of these concepts to the management of natural resources and sustainable practices.
