HBIO 114 - Populations, Community and Biosphere

Credit Hours: 4

HBIO 114 is one of the three required introductory courses for biology majors. This course consists of laboratory research and lecture-discussion. In HBIO 114 we focus on living systems at the highest levels of organization: populations, communities, ecosystems and the global biosphere. This course is not intended to be comprehensive. However, we will explore key ecological concepts and processes in depth including: Ecology, evolution and natural selection, population growth dynamics, energy and matter flows in food webs, and global energy flow and climate.
