Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Overview
Study in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology is offered by the School of Life and Environmental Science. Units of study in this major are mostly available at standard and advanced level.
About the major
Ecology and evolution are important concepts that underlie a broad range of the biological sciences. Ecology investigates the processes that govern the biological interactions between individuals and yet can operate on ecosystem scales. Evolution is a unifying theme that explains the patterns we observe in the natural world, ranging from genomes to the diversification of life through time.
The fields of ecology and evolution intersect at multiple levels and are critically relevant to real-world challenges.
In this major you will learn about evolutionary and ecological processes and how these influence the population dynamics of animals, plants, and other organisms. This knowledge forms the basis for the effective management and conservation of biodiversity, ecosystems, and habitats.
Requirements for completion
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology major requirements are listed in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology unit of study table.
