Course Description: BIOL 427 introduces the fundamental principles of how ecological systems function and how they are structured at organism, population and community levels. Concurrent enrolment in BIOL 427L (lab) and BIOL 492H (field) is required. These components are designed to introduce the scientific method of ecology through observation of patterns in nature, developing and testing hypotheses, synthesis and presentation of ecological research. The course provides exposure and experience in using the tools and techniques that ecologists use to gather and analyze data collected in the field.
