Zoo.423 Principles of Ecology 3+1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The primary aim of this course is
 to develop a scientific understanding of the diverse aspects of the field of ecology.
 The students will be familiarized with the interactions between the organisms and their
physical environment.
 Additionally, various attributes of populations and communities with help of theoretical
concepts and field examples will be discussed.
 It provides a platform to understand the varied forces that lead to variations among
populations of a species.
