Applied ecology course announcements for fall
- AEC 203 Intro to the Honey Bee ad now fulfills both NS and IP GE requirements (students can pick).
- AEC 295 – Animal Communication
- Note that AEC 295 is cross-listed with NSGE 295, so students have the option to take this course for NS-GE credit.
- Communication – the exchange of information between individuals – is the underpinning of emergent function that leads to superorganisms, societies, and multicellularity. If you’re interested in how whales find and recognize each other, why crickets chirp and how they manage it, or how the cowbird, raised by another species, finds out it’s a cowbird, this is the class for you.
- AEC 495.011 – Ecosystem Ecology
- This course examines how ecosystems function through interactions between climate and organisms. Students explore how these interactions regulate ecosystem pools and fluxes, and the movement and transformation of matter and energy, including carbon and nutrient cycling, and how ecosystems are responding to global change.
