BIOL6066 2027-28
Biodiversity and Conservation
This module concerns global biodiversity, what we understand by it and why it is in crisis, and current efforts to conserve and manage it. We begin with an appraisal of different values of diversity at scales from genetic to species, communities and ecosystems. We then consider the causes and consequences of losing biodiversity, the nature and scale of its loss, countermeasures at global, national and local scales, and the costs we may face in replacing services that depend on biodiversity. During the second half of the module, we take a community ecology approach, focusing on interactions between species, rather than species per se. We look at networks of interactions, and consider how they have been used to address practical issues in conservation. Finally, we consider global impacts on ecosystems, how they interact with one another, and how we might mitigate their impacts. The module seeks to engage discussion and debate,and inform opinion, on biodiversity and conservation.
We recommend that students have studied ecology previously in Southampton, or elsewhere, to make the most of this module. -

Biodiversity, restoration and applied ecology in a changing world
The module explores critical aspects of biodiversity in a changing world and ways to restore and enhance it. The course covers biodiversity concepts, key threats (such as invasive species, climate change and habitat fragmentation), restoration science and applied restoration methods. There will be a diversity of teaching and assessment methods, including fieldwork and field trips.
