BIOM 402 Marine Evolutionary Ecology

This course will study the ecological mechanisms underlying evolutionary processes. It is broad in scope and requires that students synthesize both evolutionary and ecological concepts and theory into an understanding of how organisms adapt to their environment. This course is periodically offered at the Marine Science Consortium field station in Wallops Island, Va., only during a summer session. Since this course is also offered for graduate credit, a differentiation of requirements will be made.
