Overview
Course curriculum often works near the interface between ecology, the study of interactions between organisms and their environment, and evolutionary biology, which aims to understand how populations and species evolve.
Areas of research are often directed toward basic science, but also often addresses applied problems such as overcrowding, invasive species, and extinction.
