ZOOL 4393 - Population Dynamics


Credit Hours: 3
Students investigate population changes using mathematical methods. Common models incorporating and describing parameters such as fecundity, mortality and competition are investigated. Students identify the assumptions that must be met for validity that underlay these population analyses and assess the appropriateness of different models for varying experimental uses. Students then use these models in understanding and quantifying the effects of such symbiotic relationships as predation and competition on various populations.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 2334K  and MATH 1154  or MATH 2113
