Università Roma Tre

Looking at nature through different perspectives: ecological principles from ecosystems to populations, origin and development of ecology as a science. Ecology as a group of subdisciplines.
Ecosystem ecology: factors related to distribution of biomes, biomes and climatic changes, the flux of energy in the ecosystem, trophic structure, production and productivity, ecological pyramids, biogeochemical cycles.
Community ecology: community structure, aims and methods in community analyses in an ecological perspective, successions, methods in successional studies, biodiversity, diversity measures, factors influencing diversity in different ecosystems, alien species, diversity and conservation. Bioindicators.
Population ecology. Population structure and dynamics, r and k selection, interactions, intraspecific relationships, interspecific competition, ecological niche.
Environment-organisms relationships, ecological factors, response of organisms to environmental factors, stress and disturbance, c-s-r strategies
