<\/p>\n
Goals of the course<\/p>\n
The learning objectives of the course are intended to introduce students to the Ecology, i.e. Populations, Community Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology.
\nThe topics covered include the typologies of environments, ecological genetics, population concepts, species interaction properties, community ecology, ecosystem ecology, ecological biogeography and human ecology.
\nLectures will emphasize the modern approaches of methodologies for the comprehension of ecosystem functioning. Marine aquatic ecosystems will be particularly traited.
\nStudents will need to show that they have acquired a good basic knowledge of structure and function of the ecosystems, as well as of the principal methods used for the analysis and applications.
\nLectures. Lab experiences, and sampling trip by boat.<\/p>\n
