From Greek philosophers and early science to advanced concepts including evolution and adaptation, the Ecology Diploma Course takes you through the history of the subject.
We'll explore the diversity of Earth's environments and the types of organisms that establish themselves in each, along with the environmental controls that regulate climate.
The course goes on to discuss the individual relationships and interactions that occur between organisms within populations and communities. We'll look at the evolutionary adaptations animals and plants have developed to survive, population mechanisms, and community development and structure, including predator-prey dynamics. You'll also be guided through the Earth's biogeochemical cycles and trophic level interactions.
The Ecology Diploma Course concludes with an explanation of climate change and its impact, the anthropogenic factors influencing climate change, and a look at the national parks and marine conservation initiatives.
