ECOLOGY : CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS

The 4ce places great emphasis on helping students grasp the main concepts of ecology while keeping the presentation more applied than theoretical. Fully integrated Canadian content makes the material relevant to students' lives, highlights the contributions Canadian researchers have made in the field of ecology and will prepare students to appreciate our unique Canadian environment in a global context. Each chapter is organized around two to six major concepts, presenting the student with a manageable and meaningful synthesis of the subject. 

This resource was created for students who are taking their first undergraduate course in ecology. Ecology is an integrative discipline, and thus a foundation in other sciences is important. We have assumed that students in this course have some knowledge of basic chemistry and mathematics and that they have had a course in general biology that included introductions to physiology, biological diversity, and evolution.
