Description

This module for PCAV Concours B students is designed to introduce the fundamental concepts of general ecology, integrating the evolutionary and functional approach and evolutionary processes. The aim is to enable them to understand the interactions of organisms with their environment at different scales of space, time and hierarchical levels of organization.

The aim is to give them a better understanding of today's major issues, such as biodiversity erosion, the impact of human activity and global change.

The lectures will help to lay the foundations, but the practical sessions will enable students to work with scientific texts and articles, gradually familiarizing them with the scientific approach.
