| IBIO*6000 Special Topics in Ecology and Behaviour U [0.50] | |
|---|---|
| This is a course in which several faculty lecture and/or lead discussion groups in tutorials about advances in their broad areas, or related areas, of ecology and behaviour. Topics may include animal communication, optimal foraging, life-history evolution, mating systems, population dynamics, niche theory and food-web dynamics, and will depend on who is co-ordinating the course for that particular offering. The course includes lectures and seminars in which the students actively participate. | |
