| Course description |
| The creature adapted environment, evolved and diversified. The evolution of the creature and understanding the ecology which is science about the environmental interaction are necessary to deal with the problems such as the permanent use of resources, the environmental problem appropriately. In this lecture, we will learn evolutional phenomenon of creatures, and basic ecology across individual - population - commnity - ecosystem, various levels.This lecture gives bases understanding more advanced biological and environmental sciences. |
| Expected Learning |
|
You can master the fundamental concepts and principles of evolution and ecology. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma policy: See the curriculum maps. https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ |
