Because of its large field component, BIO469Y can be used to fulfil a program's field course requirement. Theoretical Ecology and Evolution 26L Theoretical aspects of ecology and evolution including population genetics, population dynamics, life history evolution, kin selection, foraging theory, and the evolution of interactions between species. Use is made of several different types of modelling approaches including dynamic models, optimization models and game theory. The study of behaviour, ecology, evolution and genetics. Current research programs, special publications, and laboratory exposure are the basis for discussing issues.
Discussions are lead by students.
Each instructor is responsible for a separate module. T Student directed roundtable on current topics in ecology. The topics vary from year to year. The seminar activities include both oral and written analyses of current research articles, and may include group projects.
