Island Biogeography and Invasive Species - Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior
Offered By: Yale University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the critical role of geography in ecology through a 41-minute lecture from Yale University's "Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior" course. Delve into two major systems designed to model geographical importance: island biogeography and metapopulations. Understand how metapopulations, consisting of populations in multiple neighboring areas, have emerged as the dominant theory with significant applications in epidemiology. Examine the critique of island biogeography and discover the analogy between metapopulations and disease studies. Gain insights into how species populations can survive across multiple areas even if extinct in individual locations. Access comprehensive course materials on the Open Yale Courses website to further enhance your understanding of these ecological concepts.
