Welcome!
Welcome to BIO373, also known as Ecology. This semester you will learn the foundational concepts of Ecology – or how biological entities interact with their environment. The biological entities range from individuals, over populations and communities, to ecosystems. The environment encompasses the physical environment, and all other living organisms in this environment. Aside from the content, you will also develop transferable skills: working productively in a group setting, applying mathematical models, reading scientific literature and improving your scientific writing. Welcome to our class, we’re looking forward to meeting you soon!
