About
About the course
Course content
The course provides an introduction to the basic theoretical features of population ecology, with particular emphasis on one-species populations and interactions between species. Subjects covered include demography, population regulation and life history strategies in different animal and plant species. Furthermore, the course focuses on how variation in demographic variables such as reproduction, mortality and dispersal are effected by changes in population size or the environment. In the seminars active participation is required from the students.
