Course Name: BSCI 40389 Ecology and Natural History of Mediterranean Ecosystems
Description: The Mediterranean basin is a hotspot of diversity made of plant and animal species adapted to survive to hot dry summers and cool wet winters. The origin and drivers of the today’s Mediterranean diversity will be examined through this course, and the ecology of this biome will be investigated through textbooks, videos and up-to-date research papers. Impacts of climate change and of human-practices will be considered both on terrestrial and marine ecosystems to give a wide view of the ongoing processes in the considered habitats and conservation strategies will be critically analyzed through discussion.
