Content of Learning Activity

The Biodiversity, Evolution and Ecology course investigates the interactions between ecological factors, the selection they can generate on organisms, and the impact that this selection can have on local and global biodiversity. This course, in addition to the notions taught in Bachelors I and II, allows students to acquire a very good global knowledge of ecology, evolution and the functioning of living organisms in interaction with their environment, from the individual scale to that of the ecosystem or biosphere. This course involves theory, practical work and visits (e.g., Natural History museums).
