Week 1

The goal for this week is introduce you to the science of ecology.

Week 2

Starting this week, we will learn about the growth of populations

Week 3

This week we continue to learn how structured population matrices can help in population management.

Week 4

In lecture this week, we will learn how to incorporate biological reality in the form of positive and negative density dependence.

Week 5

In lecture this week, we will turn to the field of community ecology, which investigates the relationships between different species that co-occur in the same habitat.

Week 6

This week, we dive deeper into analyzing the Lotka-Volterra model of competition, a classic model from community ecology that seeks to explain coexistence between species…

Week 7

This week, we will wrap up some takeaways from the Lokta-Volterra competition model, and learn how lessons from this model help us understand species coexistence in more…

Week 8

This week, we will wrap up some takeaways from the Lokta-Volterra competition model, and learn how lessons from this model help us understand species coexistence in more…

Week 9

This week, we will continue studying the Lotka-Volterra model for consumers and resources, and if time permits, will extend a similar logic to the study of infectious disease.

Week 10

This week, we will begin to learn about how we can put numbers to measuring biodiversity

Week 11

This week, we will continue learning about quantifying biodiversity across space and time. We will also begin to learn about the theory of Island Biogeography, a framework…
