Advanced Marine Ecology

Prerequisites: Introductory ecology or marine ecology course

This graduate level course will improve your understanding of ecological processes by building upon the foundations provided in introductory ecology classes.

Emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms that control the distribution of plants and animals at scales ranging from the individual organism to the ecosystem.

Assigned readings from the scientific literature will cover the entire range of marine habitats and will reflect recent thinking on the major concepts and problems in ecological theory.
