Learn how ecological interactions drive evolution, how species can be understood as products of ongoing evolution, and explore some big questions about the processes that shape natural and human-manipulated communities. You will also learn some essential skills for a science career, such as designing and carrying out simple experiments, communicating results to others, critiquing ideas and methods, and applying existing ideas and methods to novel problems. There is a two hour lecture and a three hour practical most weeks, as well as a one day field trip. Each student also designs and carries out a simple experiment with guidance from us. -- Course Website
