This course offers a practical and experimental approach to ecology through a combination of laboratory activities and fieldwork. Students investigate the thermal, hygrometric, and photic preferences of organisms in order to understand their responses to abiotic factors. They then explore several fundamental ecological concepts, such as growth curves, the biotic capacity of the environment, intra- and interspecific competition, biodiversity and ecological succession, and trophic relationships including parasitism and biological control. Finally, field visits provide an opportunity to illustrate and connect theoretical concepts with ecological observations in situ, fostering an integrated understanding of ecological dynamics.
