Literature:

The module "Community and Evolutionary Ecology” is compulsory for the M.Sc. Program Landscape Ecology. It shows how an understanding of the dynamics of single species can be expanded to study the dynamics of biological diversity both between and within species. In a combination of lectures, research projects and excursions, students learn about the dynamics of populations and meta-populations, trait-based community ecology, coexistence theory, meta-community dynamics, quantitative and population genetics, life history theory and macroevolutionary diversification. The acquired knowledge serves to understand how biological diversity arises, how it is maintained, how it is structured and why it declines.
