Eco-physiology or physiological ecology is concerned with the effect of environmental factors, both biotic and abiotic, on the function of living organisms. This course will examine marine biodiversity and ecosystems with a special focus on the cellular and organismal adaptations that allow organisms to exploit marine habitats. Students will gain an appreciation for the diversity of marine lifestyles and the interdependence of ecology with molecular, cell, and organismal biology.
