This subject aims to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to whole organism biology, from species to populations, communities and ecosystems. Specifically, the subject explores the identity, anatomical and life-history characteristics of the main groups of organisms, their patterns of diversity across Earth, the processes of evolution and speciation, ecology and conservation biology. In addition, through a series of practical classes, the subject equips students with an understanding of the scientific process, ways in which experiments are designed and implemented, the processes of data collection and analysis and hypothesis testing.
