Overview
Ecology is all about connections. In this Introduction to Biology - Ecology course offered by Coursera in partnership with Rice University, we’ll see how interdependent every living thing is and how people are impacting the natural world. Like all sciences, ecology isn’t just a list of known facts– it’s also a process. I love telling stories, and I’ve included many stories about how we’ve come to know what we know about ecology through observations and experiments.
What you'll learn
- How interdependent every living thing is; how people are impacting the natural world
