Bio 618 - Marine Molecular Ecology
Spring Semester 2016

This semseter-long course will introduce you to genetic tools - which ones are available, practical and useful for particular questions - and how these genetic analyses have been applied to a wide variety of ecological topics. We will focus on marine organiams and issues of dispersal, life histories, recruitment, habitat and mate choice, natural selection, the conservation of biodiversity, and speciation
