Who should take this course
EY600 is a graduate-level course intended for M.S. and Ph.D. students in the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology and many related disciplines across Colorado State University.
Course goal
Provide students the opportunity to learn and discuss classic and current theories and models in population and community ecology as they apply to animals and plants.
Course structure
Lectures each week present terminology and conceptual development of each field, observations and experiments that support theories, and current directions. Discussion sections provide students the opportunity to read classic and current papers on each topic and discuss their merits and findings. Emphasis for discussions will be on constructive critique and debate of the papers, and students' unique perspectives from different disciplines.
