SUS 310 - Ecology & Sustainability4.0 Credits Prerequisites: BIO 105 or BIO 111 ; and SUS 300 or SUS 301 with a grade of C- or higher.
SUS 300 or SUS 301 must be taken concurrently with this course if neither course has been previously completed with a grade of C- or better. This course will be an exploration of the inter-relationships between organisms and their environment. Students will study the ecological factors that influence organisms’ distributions, abundance, and relationships. The connections between biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components of the environment influencing the distribution and abundance of organisms will be explored. Populations, community, and ecosystem level ecology are examined and discussed, especially in light of human influences on natural systems. Systems sustainability will be explored in the context of ecological principles. Includes laboratory and field experiences. LEC 45 Clock Hours LAB 30 Clock Hours
